Explore the history of Northern Ireland through The Troubles & Beyond Exhibition at the Ulster Museum.
The history of Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to the present day has been dominated by the civil and political conflict known as ‘the Troubles.’ The events that took place here after 1968 have impacted not just the people of Northern Ireland but people across the world. The Ulster Museum collection covers themes of politics and conflict, and the impact of both on everyday life, people and communities.
The Troubles and Beyond exhibition is not exclusively focused on the conflict, but relates to contemporary history and therefore includes objects that represent our wider social, cultural and economic history. The collection is a dynamic one, and it continues to be developed and refined. Acquired items include George Best’s Northern Ireland football jersey, a puppet of Gerry Adams from the TV series Spitting Image, material relating to the life and career of Belfast-born actor James Ellis and a collection of Pride t-shirts dating from 1991 when the first march was held in Belfast.
The Troubles & Beyond Gallery also houses two new displays, Gaza Remains the Story, and a new collaborative display with the Conflict and Legacy Interpretive Network.
The Ulster Museum exhibitions are free to visit, open Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00 to 17.00.
