North Down Museum
Imagine life as a Viking in the longhouse reconstruction on the grounds of Bangor Castle.
Overview
Learn the ancient history of Northern Ireland at the North Down Museum, where exhibits trace the region's story back to the Bronze Age. Tucked into the back of Bangor Castle — a legendary location on its own — this museum is home to an outstanding collection of archaeological finds. Head along to see the Ballycrochan Swords from around 500 BC or the Bangor Bell, hidden during Viking attacks over a thousand years ago.
