Educational Visits

Group Visits

Throughout the year community groups are frequent visitors to the museum. This has enabled strong links to be built up with the community. A group visit to the museum will prove to be a memorable experience for all ages. In a spacious and comfortable environment you will be able to step back in time - a few decades, a few centuries, indeed back as far as the earliest civilizations in the area. The museum is on the main route from mid Ulster to the Causeway Coast and would make an ideal stop en route.

Close by there are restaurants and coffee shops which provide excellent meals and snacks. The museum is available throughout the year for such visits both day and evening visits can be arranged. At least an hour and a half is required in order to see all the displays and appreciate all that this facility has to offer.

School Visits

The museum is a superb educational facility. Schools will find that it is a particularly valuable resource in the delivery of key elements of the World Around Us study programme. In the museum young people can empathise with life in the last century as they talk about, work with and handle artefacts, some of which date back to Neolithic times.

Help can be given to structure a programme to suit the needs of individual schools and age groups.
