Seamus Heaney Homeplace, Literary museum in Bellaghy, Northern Ireland.

The Seamus Heaney HomePlace features multiple exhibition spaces across two floors, displaying manuscripts, personal items, and photographs from the Nobel laureate's life.

The museum opened in September 2016 on the former location of Bellaghy Royal Ulster Constabulary barracks, following a construction project costing £4.25 million.

The 190-seat Helicon performance space hosts poetry readings, musical performances, and theatrical productions that connect visitors with Irish literary traditions.

The facility includes a gift shop, cafe, research library containing Heaney's personal book collection, and specialized areas for educational workshops.

The Open Ground exhibition connects five physical locations from Heaney's poetry, allowing visitors to experience the landscapes that influenced his writing.
