Peacemakers Museum

13/10/2026

Peacemakers Museum is the first museum in the North of Ireland dedicated to the story of the peace agreements and the journey from conflict to peace.

In the historic Bogside, powerful stories, personal testimonies, archive material and interactive exhibits bring the peace process to life. Explore the people, events and negotiations that shaped the Good Friday Agreement and transformed the North.

Our story follows on from the Museum of Free Derry, complementing it to give a fuller picture of the journey from conflict to peace. Visit both with our combi ticket at a reduced rate.

An authentic, local perspective on one of the world’s most significant peace processes, with a message that reaches far beyond Derry: dialogue, compromise and political leadership can help societies move from conflict towards lasting peace.

Today one of our visitors found this lovely crochet boat keyring with a lovely poem accompanying it.

I am not lost
But I am alone
If I make you smile
Please take me home
Or leave me here
(I don’t mind)
For another person
Perhaps to find

If it was yourself who left it we just want to let you know it certainly made our guest smile and the keyring has found a new home.

We were delighted to take part in the inaugural Shared Island Tourism Workshop held in Derry this week. This event was arranged by Tourism Ireland, connecting with leading international travel buyers and fellow tourism businesses from across the Causeway Coastal Route and Wild Atlantic Way.

On Tuesday we welcomed a group to the Peacemakers Museum for FAM visit and the feedback has been excellent. There is a real desire from travellers around the world to learn about the resilience of the Derry people and how we navigated the challenging times to come to a brighter and more hopeful future. Thanks to Karen and the brilliant team at Visit Derry for including us and always supporting us.

Wednesday saw us attend a fantastic trade workshop at The Everglades Hotel, this offered an opportunity to present to fifty international operators and explore possible partnerships for future visitors. This particular event felt very purposeful and there have a been a number of fantastic relationship made.

A special thanks to Tourism Ireland, Tourism Northern Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, Derry City & Strabane District Council, Visit Derry for all their help and support in organising these events through the year!

Step inside Derry’s history.

The story of the Hunger Strikes is one of the most powerful and defining chapters of Derry’s recent past.

At Peacemakers Museum, you can go beyond the photographs and the headlines and experience history through the stories of those who lived it.

One of the most powerful parts of the museum is our recreation of a Long Kesh prison cell, similar to those endured by prisoners during the ‘unwashed’ protests and the Hunger Strikes.

This recreation was created under the guidance of people who endured the suffering themselves in real time, helping to ensure that the experience reflects the reality of life inside the prison.

It is a deeply moving opportunity to step into a small part of that history — to see, feel and better understand what people experienced.
