Itinerary
The museum explores the period from August 1972 to May 2007 to explain how the conflict evolved into the peace process and the impact of both on the local area. The museum uses artefacts, oral history, archive footage, interactive features and unique displays to explain how the Agreement was reached, its implementation and its potential implications for the future of the island. It also features the key role played by three Bogsiders – John Hume, Martin McGuinness and Mitchel McLaughlin – in creating the conditions that have led to the peace we all enjoy today. All three men played a key role in developing the 1998 Good Friday Agreement which provided a political template for resolving the conflict and a future which could be determined on the principle of consent.

a must see
Brilliant wee museum, very thought provoking and real - highly recommend.
Remembering with purpose
I visited this museum with a school group studying the conflict in Northern Ireland. The exhibit presents the history of The Troubles through the lens of the Bogside community, making it both accessible and meaningful for me as an adult and for my students (ages 14–18). The museum emphasizes three local community members who helped broker the Good Friday Agreement. It thoughtfully traces their journeys from the conflict to peacemaking, while also highlighting the roles played by women, young people, and ordinary citizens who worked steadily toward peace. I was especially struck by the museum’s opening statement, which references the The Principles for Remembering in a Public Space. As a history teacher, I appreciate this acknowledgment. It reflects a careful, reflective approach to public memory and signals that the museum views peacemaking not simply as a historical outcome, but as an ongoing responsibility.
A must for the troubles from the early 80's onwards
Really interesting and very informative. Loads and loads of informative artefacts and videos to see. This is a must for people wanting to learn about the troubles from the 80's onwards. Please visit the free Derry museum first before visiting here ( that's from the 60's to the early 80's. )
Very interesting and informative!
There is a lot of information to take in and it's so hard to believe it was not so long ago either! Well set up and staff were very helpful. Be prepared there is a lot reading to do!!
