armagh county museum

I have visited the many times and each time I find something new for instance I was unaware that it also contains a small library which I found very interesting, there is a complete itenary of the books held there

Located on the Mall just down from the Fusiliers museumFREEA museum that fascinated me, such a collection of Militaria, and other stuff too.I loved it and have visited on 3 occasions. The Assistant Curator was very helpfulWell worth a visitBe sure to visit the Cathedral and Fusiliers Museum too. Last visit 2012

We visited the museum hoping to get help with the family tree .. A lovely lady named Sarah was very helpful and pointed us in the right direction

We did not expect this small town to have such a nice museum. The staff was very nice and the collection was great for a small town. Also, it was free. If you make it to Armagh make sure you stop by. We spent about 45 minutes.

Free admission. Staff welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. Would recommend to family and friends. Exhibits very well displayed.

Looking forward to visiting this museum (I am a regular visitor to museums) I was hugely disappointed to find it was like stepping back into a 1960's depressing room full of cases containing exhibits. No attempt at interpretation of these items or collections was evident just small white cards that bore a typed (old typewriter style) description of each object, truly appalling! and made me question what on earth the curator is thinking of? surely people understand the need to provide even basic written descriptions in the most accessible manner - larger print would be a great advantage as would paying attention to the needs of dyslexia. I suspect the museum is short of funds, most are, but I cant understand why volunteers cannot be mobilised to provide adequate written descriptions of objects on display if not some curator directed interpretation of the exhibits. I was the only person in the museum at 11am Wednesday and was informed that a small part of the gallery was closed until the official opening of a new exhibition, all of this exhibition was complete and in display cases yet the museum policy was to restrict public entry until after the official opening, what a load of nonsense! surely they realise that official openings often occur after the public are admitted, the general public are being treated appallingly.At the moment the museum is very poor quality and not worth a visit, which is evident as people do not seem to visit, not even school children. I suspect a shortage of funding and cutbacks are to blame for much of these issues but there is certainly room for the curator to enhance the visitor experience with little financial outlay required.

We were on the trail of our Armagh ancestors. We're we're made most welcome and were able to find out quite a bit of information.

Free, so I can't argue with value but I voluntarily donate on each visit. The kids events at holiday times like Christmas, Halloween etc are brilliant and a credit to the staff. Great displays and very interesting stories. Pity it wasn't properly funded and twice the size.

This is an amazing museum. The history provided by the exhibits as well as the staff was fascinating and very enlightening. We learned a lot about Northern Ireland. The staff were very helpful in answering questions and filling in the gaps in our knowledge of Ireland's history and possible future. If you find yourself in Armagh a visit to this museum is a must.

We were impressed by the layout and information provided in the lobby/entrance and the permanent display upstairs. There was a beautiful Art display upstairs and I would recommend a visit before the end of August as it is due to change. It features lots of local artists.The highlight for us though, was Don Stevenson on the front desk. He was extremely informative and very friendly. It really makes the difference on a visit when the staff are as pleasant as that.

Great background info for any visitor to Armagh. Some great art work and very helpful staff.

Dropped by the museum on the Wednesday after St. Patrick Day so if was no too busy. freindly staff, informative.The museum is small but well laid out and quite interesting

All the exhibits are fresh and diverse. Art work Fab

Un musée qui retrace bien l'histoire de la ville (gratuit de plus) mais aussi couplée avec une excellente exposition sur la faune et la flore . Je ne m'y attendais pas du tout. La personne a l'accueil a été extrêmement gentille (il nous a gardé nos valises) et essayer de nous dire quelques mots en français . Allez -y c'est vraiment très bien !!
