Ulster Folk and Transport Museum
.................................................................................................................................................

Irish Museum of the Year - the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum illustrates the
way of life and traditions of the people of the north of Ireland. The exhibit
buildings of the Folk Museum include appropriately furnished houses, mills,
shops, schools and churches set in a carefully recreated landscape extending
over 60 acres. This provides the setting to present the story of life in Ulster in
the early 1900s through costumed interpretation and a varied programme of
activities, crafts and skills. The award winning galleries of the Transport Museum
display Ireland’s most comprehensive transport collections from horse drawn cart
to Irish built motor cars, from the mighty steam locomotives which graced our
railways to the history of ship and boat building. The General Transport Galleries
mark NI’s unique contribution with the new X2 Flight Experience and Titanic exhibitions.
Part of the National Museums Northern Ireland.
