Scheduled to open in Spring 2027, this is to be the city's main museum. It covers prehistory, the 6th-century monastery, the Spanish Armada and siege of 1689, the Great Famine, the partition of Ireland, the Troubles of 1969-1994, and present times. Expect some disruption at Tower Museum as collections transfer.
Formerly the city's main museum. The collections are now transferring to the DNA museum east of the river (see below) so there’s limited content.
Apprentice Boys Memorial Hall
This is the fraternity house of Apprentice Boy societies worldwide. It also houses the Siege Museum detailing the history of the Boys and their prominent role in the 1689 Siege.
This is the cathedral of the Church of Ireland (Anglican) Diocese of Derry and Raphoe. It was built in 1633 and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Excellent museum of the Northern Ireland conflict: the march of civil rights, Bloody Sunday and its long aftermath from the republican side. Walking tours of the Bogside start from here.
Intended as a follow-on from the Free Derry Museum, this is about recent oral history. It’s within the Gasyards Community Centre.
This was built as the terminus of the GNR Irish standard gauge line from Omagh, but most of the exhibition is about the narrow-gauge railways that weaved and wended across Donegal. It’s now run by Destined, a charity for adults with learning difficulties.
