The museum is tucked away in a side street close to the Cathedral, and can easily be missed. It is only a small room, with various exhibits depicting Belfast during WW2. The member of staff in charge on the museum when we visit was very knowledgeable about the period and about Belfast in general, and we learned a lot by chatting. The highlight for me though was the audio tour around the area (accessible via a QR code) showing all the local sites that were bombed during the Blitz. The accompanying leaflet showed photos of the sites during the bombing and the aftermath, and this really explains some of Belfast's many unattractive buildings in the immediate area that were rebuilt during the architecturally concrete period of the late 1950s to the early 1970s. The worst example is the building that originally hosted this memorial on Waring Street, which is thankfully due to meet it's maker.

Visited today from England, highly recommended! Lady on the front desk was very helpful and informative! Some great memorabilia from 1940’s and well worth a visit! Beautiful stained glass window and loads of interesting information! A must see in Belfast!

This gem is a must-see on a visit to Belfast! It is quite small, but don't be deceived by its size: every exhibit is relevant and important to telling the thematic focus of the museum, that is, the impact of WWII on Belfast and its inhabitants. Mark was a fabulous and knowledgeable source of information, and his input made the visit even more enjoyable.

We wandered into the museum almost as an afterthought before going to Titanic Museum. Wow! What a hidden gem! Though tiny, there is a lot of information packed into this museum, and the displays are interesting and engaging. Most engaging was the museum staff, Ruth, who went above and beyond, sharing stories and insights. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

A group of us were invited to the museum by Michael. So much information was on show and some fascinating facts linking America to Northern Ireland, rations, uniforms, rolls of honour, blitz photos, bronzes that tell a story and my favourite part was when Michael was telling the story about James Magennis from the Falls road. I won't spoil it. Highly recommend a visit.
