Stopped in while viewing the Peace Wall and got a better perspective on the Troubles and history of Irish unity movement. Passionate and knowledgeable staff gave a memorable personal tour. Entry is free.

Tiny but very interesting. Lots of memorabilia from the times of the Troubles, lots of crafts made by prisoners on display. Lots to read, look at and listen to. Run in a very personal way by Eileen's sister. The museum is free to visit but relies on donations.

Good free museum run by dedicated volunteers. Well-curated and very interesting. Lots of artefacts relating to Irish Republicanism with particular focus on arms and crafts by Prisoners of War. The museum is very popular with overseas visitors and there are printouts of museum guides in a wide variety of languages.

A very interesting and well set out small museum and library. You can see the devotion of Eileen Hickey to preserving the artefacts from the troubles, not just republican ones, but loyalist and trade union items on display. A very warm welcome from the hosts, and definitely well worthwhile for a visit.

Incredibly powerful experience. I was absolutely moved by Ms Hickey’s dedication to keeping the history alive, but beyond that, she wanted no credit for it and repeatedly pointed out it was her sister Eileen who started the museum. I was honestly moved by her class, poignancy, and by the museum in general. It would be a “can’t miss” destination to anyone coming who is interested in history. Make sure to donate, as she mentioned that they take no money from any organization, as to keep from having an agenda pushed on them. I could have spent hours here.

A little hard to find. Hidden inside, not in the Mill building. Was really good to show the bloody history. We will remember those who fight for peace. So many real pics and some arts too. Highly recommend.

Very interesting small museum, it is like how museums used to be with lots of intetesting exhibits and facts, none of the audio visual nonsense that so many museums think are necessary.

Anyone visiting Belfast should come here, it was one of the best museums I have ever been to. Incredible artifacts from rebel history 1700s-present, and excellent information/explanation of key historical events. Thank you for your effort and work making this available to everyone.
