About

The Museum of Free Derry invites visitors to walk through the heart of Derry’s civil rights movement, from the early 1960s to the unexpected 1972 Bloody Sunday. Housed in the renamed Belfast‑type style two‑storey building on 55 Glenfada Park, the museum tells the story through multimedia galleries, personal testimonies, murals and interactive displays that bring history to life. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a family or a local resident, the museum offers an emotionally resonant journey that connects past struggles to present freedoms.
