Northern Ireland War Memorial

The Northern Ireland War Memorial is a military museum in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter dedicated to World War II experiences. The collections include uniforms, photographs, artworks, and military equipment from the 1940s that provide a comprehensive view of that period.

The museum documents the impact of the 1941 Belfast Blitz bombing and the arrival of American military forces in Northern Ireland in 1942. These two events were critical in reshaping the city and its role during the war.

The memorial honors Northern Irish people who served during World War II through two Rolls of Honour and a stained glass window. These tributes serve as focal points for visitors wanting to understand how the local community experienced the war.

The museum sits on Talbot Street and offers free admission to visitors. Weekday visits allow more time to explore the exhibits and to take the self-guided audio tour at your own pace.

The museum offers an interactive audio guide that takes visitors on a walking tour through the Cathedral Quarter, learning about the 1941 bombardment. Maps available at multiple locations help you trace how the city rebuilt itself after the war.
