Northern Ireland War Memorial Museum

Very friendly lady, spent time telling us back ground storys really interesting.

A fantastic place to spend an hour learning and understanding the impact of war in Northern Ireland. It’s a place of education, and a thought provoking exhibition that gives you a glimpse into life in years gone past.

Fantastic little place, we had it all to ourselves so we could spend a good long time looking at the exhibitions. Very interesting information and a great way to spend an hour or so. Would recommend if you are interested in this sort of thing.
The tv that shows the names and ages of people who died in the blitzes really hits home.

Excellent exhibition showing the impact of the war on Northern Ireland as well as the stories of those heroes who sacrificed themselves (some to the point of losing their lives) to save the others. Packed with interesting items and staff were really knowledgeable and helpful. Went with my 5 year old and she was thoroughly stunned and amazed after going through the exhibits. Highly recommended 👍

Excellent exhibition and put together with care and passion...staff are extreamly helpful and will be more than glad to answer any questions you may have.
although the exhibition itself is small , the heart moveing history behind it is very real,while your there pick up a free booklet on The Belfast Blitz where you then scan a bar code to your phone and it takes you on a visual tour of the blitz starting from the front door of the museum.
Admission is free and donations are welcome.
Group bookings advisable.
Check online for opening times.
It's your history !

A powerful thought provoking museum with beautiful art work and interesting exhibits. A truly harrowing experience. The woman at the desk explained a lot and was friendly and really very informative.

We were a party of three and visited yesterday. We were greeted by the lovely Ruth Who was a great source of information. It was her personal touch and obvious love for her job that made this visit so special for us all. We will definitely return and would definitely recommend a visit.

Great museum. Took my 7 year old son as he is learning about ww2 in school. Activity table was brillant! He got to fill in an identity card & ration book and stamp it then make a paper spitfire.

Thank you for such a fantastic day with yourselves today you were both fantastic making all the activities special for my son and daughter, the Christmas festivities were great including trying the Christmas cake,, thank you so much

Great place to learn about how war affected the people and places in Northern Ireland. Excellent for organised school visits too.

Lovely place just found it by chance friendly staff and was amazed to find the roll of honour book just happen to be open at my relations names ..even my granddaughter of 8 was so interested.

Excellent presentation by an articulate young man. Nobody rushed our group. As far as I know no money transacted hands - nor was there any mention of voluntary donations. Interesting WW2 letter were on display in the archives section. Songs from Vera Lynn. Tea, coffee and biscuits were provided. 90 very profitable minutes.

An excellent museum in the heart of Belfast's Cathedral Quarter. Very knowledgeable staff and volunteers and a good variety of artefacts and resources mainly focussing on World War Two in Northern.

Small but very informative museum about Northern Ireland's contribution and experience during WWII. Staff were friendly and able to answer questions. Spent about 35 minutes here total.

First time visitors to this wonderful Museum today. So much to see and do, learned so much about the 2nd World War, and especially the details about the Belfast Blitz and all about the American GI's stationed in Northern Ireland during the War. The staff are amazing and so knowledgable and friendly. If you can please visit this wee Gem of a museum in the heart of the Belfast Cathedral area in Talbot Street facing St Anne's Cathedral.

Took my Primary 4 class here today...was just amazing. I’ve been before with previous classes so I know what to expect...Jenny is fantastic with the kids and establishes such a rapport with them. A memorable day for my little evacuees, thank you xx

Intriguing museum and it's a pity the one employee was not very helpful except at the end to ask us to sign the guest book. There is plenty of US recognition within the museum and how the forces played a part in the WW-2 history of Belfast.

It is a pity that the Home Front Exhibition is not open at the weekends as I am sure this means that a lot of people who would be interested are missing out.

Though small, taking up only one room, the exhibition is large enough to draw together aspects of the how the Second World War affected Northern Ireland in an interesting and digestible way.

The displays, which contain pictures, memorabilia and models clothed from the period, focus on the US forces in Northern Ireland, the Blitz in Belfast, the role of women and how people coped with the privations of rationing and put into practice the

This museum is currently holding an exhibition which illustrates the effort and contribution Northern Ireland played in relation to WW1 & WW2. There are a number of fascinating art works and displays on show. There is a beautiful stained glass window centrepiece which is in memoriam of those who died in the wars, which was designed by Stanley Murray Scott. There are life size figures enacting the 1941 Blitz, Home Guard, women of Ulster (120,000 women helped the war effort during WW2) as well as depicting the American presence. This intriguing museum really needs to be seen first hand so all

Located on Talbot Street, the NI War Memorial building is situated in the heart of Belfast's Cathedral Quarter, and has only been in this current building for three years.

I'd read about the Exhibition in one of those tourist magazines, and instantly knew I had to go and see it. I dragged my sister along (well, she is studying History A Level), and due to us both being unfamiliar with this area of Belfast, we found the brown signs most helpful. The building itself looks just like an office, and houses other societies and businesses, with the Home Front Exhibition just covering the bottom

Popped in here the other day as I had some time to kill while Murray & Co. (down the street) were cleaning my wedding ring. I had always walked past here thinking it looked interesting, but wasn't actually sure whether you were actually allowed to go inside or not! It kind of looks like an office or something, I do think they should make the outside more obviously inviting to passers-by, and they would get more footfall, because it was SO quiet inside. Lovely though - a really good exhibition, albeit rather small. But size isn't the point with this, it's a charted history of
