The exhibits on display at this local museum are mostly donations made by local residents, who experienced the turbulent 1960’s and 70’s first-hand. The over 25,000 artifacts tell a subjective, but authentic story of Derry's residents during the civil rights and Free Derry historic eras.
Do & See
On the border with the Republic of Ireland, the city is a great base to explore the stunning beaches and hills of Donegal. In the town itself, an abundance of pastimes is available to visitors. Learn about local history at one of the many Derry museums, take a guided walking tour and catch an evening show at one of many local art centres. For a short nature getaway, stroll through St. Columb's park or venture out into Ness Wood a few miles away from the city.
