Such a powerful and emotional experience. Shed a few tears but an absolute must-visit to learn more about the experiences of those living in the area between 1968-1972. Really well laid out.

I really appreciate that when you enter the doors to this unbelievable building, you are always made to feel comfortable with the help of the staff guiding you around what you are interested in. I have attended a lot of events from poetry night singers, and more importantly, in my opinion, all the events helping the people in Gaza. I would highly recommend looking at Eventbrite to see what is happening.

Very interesting to get an insight into the history of the Bogside and Free Derry. The video and audio of Bloody Sunday are harrowing. It's a very moving experience.

A very interesting museum showing the freedom and civil rights fight in Derry. If you are interested in newer history this is a must see in Derry.

It's one thing to know about events in other countries but it's quite another to see the impact those events have. One of the volunteers spoke to our group about his personal experiences during the The Troubles and people he lost. This was a moving experience

we were visiting the town and went to the museum to learn more about Derry. I would add this as a must to visit if you go to Derry. Lots to learn about the town, small in size but huge in history and all the happenings occurred over time. The museum is very well presented, is "new" and modern, very interactive to pass their message/history, their definition

The museum itself is small don't be deceived it is well worth a visit and the reasonable entrance fee. Staff are friendly, make sure to book the free Derry walking tour at the same time. The museum itself gives a history of the bogside, free Derry, civil rights and bloody Sunday. Laid out chronologically including a mix of video and physical exhibits. Packed with information. Highly recommend.
