Overview

This museum constitutes the largest transport collection in Ireland, housing everything from carriages to cars to fighter planes, as well as the definitive exhibition on the Titanic. The second half of this museum is an open plan village from about a 100 years ago. Discover how a small rural community in Ulster survived, interacted, educated children and worshiped God. Some cottages evoke nostalgia, especially when you see the delicately carved cribs and the beautiful quilts; others are bare and cramped. This is a world rendered with loving care and attention to detail. The museum opening times change seasonally.

Open Hours

Mo to Fr from 10:00 AM to 05:00 PM, Sa from 10:00 AM to 06:00 PM, Su from 11:00 AM to 06:00 PM

unpeasant trip to ballycultra ulster folk museumby Yahoo | 2008-05-02 21:23:25 |

Visited one part of the folk museum with a group of 5-6 year olds. Unfortunately our experience of Ballycultra village was not a pleasant one. On entering the hardware shop we received no greeting from member of staff who gave little or no information on items on display . In fact he shouted a one of the children who had climbed on a chair to see something more clearly. Our next visit was to the weavers cottage where we were neither greeted or welcomed. I would not recommend this trip if you have young children as the staff were on the whole unhelpful and very unimfortative.
