Museum is very well done as it walks you through the history of Derry and the events that produced Bloody Sunday. Well worth making time to visit if you want to learn about Bloody Sunday and the impact it has on present day Derry. A true treasure for the city of Derry

The Museum of Free Derry is in Bogside in the city of Derry Northern Ireland. The politics of Ireland, and in particular Northern Ireland, are very complex. The museum will give you an insight into the politics and major events in Derry over the past 100 years or so. It is from the Republican point of view, but you will get a good understanding of events in ‘The Troubles’. It costs 10 pounds to enter and is well worth the visit.

Having read much about the Troubles and Bloody Sunday, I was quite keen to stop at this museum. First, we did a walking tour of the Troubles. Our guide, Noel, is a life long resident of Derry and bore witness to the events of Bloody Sunday. Getting to walk the area I had read about, with someone who was there, was an experience I will never forget. After that, I went through the museum, which delves even further into Bloody Sunday. I highly recommend the museum and the walking tour.

Really enjoyed visit to this museum. Very informative and well set out. Mix of visual, oral and written displays. Also contained many artefacts. The museum is built on the site where people were killed on Bloody Sunday 1972. I found this quite poignant.

A very well laid out museum that gave a lot if interesting background information on other incidents, not just 30th Jan 72. The artifacts displayed are very moving as they include cloths worn by the victims. Having said that the museum is very good, the main point to make is that the staff are very welcoming and make it easy to ask questions. They made it clear that no question is a silly question and answered everything we asked with knowledge and patience and this helped my understanding greatly. If you visit, don't be afraid to approach anyone. When they say to ask questions, they mean it. A very humbling experience. All respect to the victims and their families.

Had some amazing exhibits and pieces of history telling the story of the people of Free Derry during the early years of the conflict in northern Ireland. Especially from the Battle of the big side to the Bloody Sunday massacre and the king campaign for justice. Was perfect coupled with the walking tour.

Amazing museum. Great exhibits and really tells the story of The Troubles and Bloody Sunday. We spent a good few hours here and then walked around outside to see the history that people lived through. Don't miss this.

Definitely a must visit when in Derry. We went here after doing a bogside history tour which is also a must do if in the area and are keen to learn more of the history surrounding the troubles. Friendly staff and well laid out museum with lots of interesting artefacts. Highly recommend visiting.

My wife and I visited this extraordinary museum last week. I cannot tell you how much it has affected us both. We thought we knew about the issues, having read about them extensively and having some small exposure to the impact of them. There is an enormous difference between knowing the facts and FEELING what it was and still is all about. Having visited both sides of the "peace wall" in Belfast the day before, this gave us some degree of hope for the future. It is situated perfectly, right in the heart of Free Derry. The museum itself is great and the people running it delightful and well-informed. (No café, but there is a great one about 200 yards away.) The people behind this should be so proud of what they are doing.

My husband was keen for us to visit this particular museum as it might fill in some of the gaps in our knowledge of The Troubles. It's quite as austere building from the outside and is quite like any other museum that we have ever visited. Staff were friendly. The exhibits are laid out in a methodical way and give a detailed insight in to what led to the problems in the community. It is not for the fainthearted - some of the photos and exhibits are graphic. Other photos are iconic images from the era. There was a volunteer there who was present during some of the events, particularly 1972. He told us about some close friends that he lost during that period and he told us that he was pleased that people were coming to the museum to learn more. A sobering experience but I found it fascinating nonetheless.
