Northern Ireland War Memorial
The Northern Ireland War Memorial (NIWM) is an engaging and welcoming museum that provides a window on Northern Ireland's key role in the Second World War and the impact of the war on its people. It was established to provide an enduring memorial for the men and women of Northern Ireland who died in the two World Wars, and to commemorate the American presence in Northern Ireland during the Second World War.
Now an accredited museum, the NIWM's mission is to tell the story of Northern Ireland's role in the Second World War comprehensively and authentically through engaging exhibitions, publications, research, outreach, and accessible learning programmes. In addition, the organisation maintains war memorials to the fallen in the First and Second World War and the Belfast Blitz. The NIWM organises respectful commemorations, provides office and meeting accommodation to ex-service charities, and awards small grants to projects which are in line with its charitable objectives.
The museum is open Monday to Friday from 10am-4:30pm and every Saturday from 12pm-4pm. Free admission, no booking necessary.
