About
Join us for European Heritage Open Day on the 14th of September. Down County Museum will be showcasing some of our extensive handling collection related to the Second World War, with object handling sessions throughout the day, showing replicas, toys, and archives.
Our exhibitions will be open, with a special section of our Down Through Time gallery dedicated to the war, including real uniforms, gas masks, and other items donated by our local community.
We also invite you to visit the Ballykinlar History Hut and interact with our living history actors, telling the stories of soldiers from the Second World War and showing off their specialist gear.
In our craft corner children can show their artistic side with a special activity to take home.
Entry to the museum is completely free, and open to everyone. We are open on Saturday and Sunday, 14th and 15th September, with special activities only on the 14th September. Join us on Sunday 15th for free tours of the site.
