Northern Ireland - Nord-Irland The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum

Northern Ireland has been home to some of the worst violence Ireland has endured. The Troubles, between the late 1960?s and 1998, divided the nation, mainly between Nationalist Catholics and Unionist Protestants. Now both Belfast and the rest of the country is more back to normal. The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum is situated in Cultra, about 11 kilometres east of the city of Belfast. It comprises two separate museums, the Folk Museum and the Transport Museum. The Folk Museum illustrate the way of life and traditions of the people in Northern Ireland, past and present, while the Transport Museum explores and exhibits methods of transport by land, sea and air, past and present. The museum ranks among Ireland's foremost visitor attractions and is a former Irish Museum of the Year. Created in 1958.
