Irish Republican History Museum

The Irish Republican History Museum is located in West Belfast and displays thousands of objects from decades of Irish political history. The collection includes documents, photographs, and personal items gathered from multiple sources.

Founded in 2007 in the Conway Mill, this museum honors Eileen Hickey, who collected and preserved items while imprisoned at Armagh Prison. Her gathering of materials became the foundation for the institution.

Handcrafted works from Republican prisoners, including paintings and drawings made during their internment, are displayed throughout the rooms. These creations offer insight into how people found ways to express themselves during confinement.

The museum is located in the Conway Mill Complex off Falls Road and maintains regular opening hours. It provides a library and interpretive center with learning resources for visitors.

A reconstructed cell from Armagh Prison with original furnishings shows what daily life was like for those held there. This display helps visitors understand the conditions people experienced.
