Tower Museum
.................................................................................................................................................

The Tower Museum hosts two major historical exhibitions - the Story of
Derry and An Armada Shipwreck - La Trinidad Valencera.
The Story of Derry charts the development of the city from its early
geological beginnings to the present day, using a range of display
techniques such as audio-visuals and interactives. The Armada exhibition
tells the story of La Trinidad Valencera, one of the largest ships in the
Armada Fleet, which sank off the Donegal Coast in 1588 and was
discovered by the City of Derry Sub-Aqua club in 1971. The exhibition
features many of the artefacts recovered from the sunken ship on loan from
the Ulster Museum. The Tower Museum offers an unrivalled visitor
experience with two contrasting and complimentary exhibitions and is a
unique and innovative resource for schools, locals, families and national
and international visitors.
