Museum…

The Ulster Museum, first opened in 1929 (at it’s current location) , but closed 3 years ago for major renovation.

I remember going to the museum as a child, I was fascinated by it, it was my first experience of a museum. I loved seeing the dinosaur bones, the Egyptian mummy, and all the other artifacts. 

The museum opened it’s doors again to the public on Thursday past. I couldn’t get down for the opening, but I headed down in the evening with Lorraine.

The new museum is so open and airy now, compared to what is used to be like. It would take quite a while to go round all the exhibits in detail, so we just went round the main ones.

It’s still free to get in, so you should take an afternoon and go for a walk around.

    It looks fantastic! Looking forward to being able to bring David round it, rather than just talk about it.

    Wondering if the mummy will still scare me!
