The oldest county museum in Ireland is set in Armagh’s beautiful Georgian tree lined Mall. Its collections capture centuries of stories relating to the people who lived, worked and had connections with this famous city and historic county.
Armagh County Museum's unique classically-influenced architecture makes it one of the most distinctive buildings in the City. Its extensive collections are based on specimens gathered by the Armagh Natural History and Philosophical Society during the nineteenth century.
The exhibitions reveal the rich and varied history of the county with prehistoric artefacts, military costumes, wedding dresses, ceramics, natural history specimens, railway memorabilia and household items from a bygone age. An impressive art collection includes works by many well-known Irish artists.
A range of temporary exhibitions is held throughout the year. An extensive reference library, rich in archive material, along with photographic and map collections is open to visitors by appointment. Wheelchair accessible.
The Museum is part of the National Museums Northern Ireland.
