Ulster Folk Museum

About

First opened in 1964, the Ulster Folk Museum is a remarkable living museum and environmental resource situated at Cultra, three miles east of Belfast. The museum is home to a rich collection of heritage buildings and objects, which it uses to actively preserve and demonstrate traditions, stories and skills passed down through many generations of people in Ulster. Our talented team of demonstrators, visitor guides and first-person interpreters are here to take you on a journey to discover the past and how it connects to our present. Beyond the town area, wander the rolling hills of the countryside and conservation areas, where there's also a working farm. The museum offers a place to think about how we, as the current generation, are still adapting to change and how we might find meaning and inspiration from the many generations before us to help build a cleaner, greener and prosperous future.
