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. 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.
Running all year round, the daily programme at the Folk Museum follows the rhythms and traditions of Ulster’s seasonal calendar. From watching craft demonstrations and meeting historical characters to exploring authentic exhibit buildings, you’re guaranteed to make new connections with the past on every visit.
