It focuses on the impact and legacy of the period referred to as ‘the Troubles’ through objects from the collections and first-hand accounts. Our ‘Troubles and Beyond’ exhibition continues to evolve through the feedback from our visitors. This unique tour offers new insight into recently acquired objects and our continuing work towards togetherness.
