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.

Traveler reviews
Great exhibit
The museum has a very interesting and informative exhibit. The use of multi media makes it accessible to a large range of learning styles.
A brilliant museum, so informative
Such an informative museum, loads to take in, give yourself a few hours to read it all, not to be rushed, loads of souvenirs to buy. Lovely cafe, just off through another door, for a little break and then back in for the second half of your visit
Worth the visit.
A must see and experience when you visit Derry. Michael Cooper, the curator of the museum spoke to us about his research and experience of research and his own life experiences.
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.
