Description
Immerse yourself in the story of Irish emigration at the museum that brings it to life.
Walk in the footsteps of the bold migrants who set sail for the New World in the 18th and 19th centuries. Wander the well-trodden pathways of rural Ulster at your leisure, complete with a bustling street and welcoming farmhouses, before boarding the Brig Union ship and emerging in the New World to marvel at life on the American Frontier. Learn about people's daily routines and activities in both the Old and New Worlds and discover historic buildings, including the famous Mellon Homestead, as well as buildings from America, which have been relocated to the museum.

A Step In Time Exhibition
A Step in Time: The Story of Irish Dance has almost 100 objects telling the story of Irish dance at home and away over the last 125 years, drawing on collections from across National Museums NI. The exhibition includes references to the 1904 Feis in the Glens of Antrim and to the work of The Gaelic League in promoting Irish language, dance, and traditional crafts in the USA in the early 1900s. Personal stories of emigrants and those who travelled abroad as performers are woven into the exhibition and explored further in a series of events associated with the exhibition.
