This was an insightful museum that helped us better understand the process towards the Good Friday Accords. It has informative displays as well as videos of people connected to the events. These really helped to get a better understanding of what it was like to live through this time. There is a free parking lot at the museum. I also want to note that the staff was absolutely lovely and went above and beyond for us. As the on-site restaurant was closed (unexpectedly to us), a woman behind the desk suggested a local cafe that was delicious. Even more than that, she offered to drive us to the restaurant due to the heavy rains at the time. It was truly an incredible kindness that we won't forget.

Description
The Peacemakers Museum explores how the North of Ireland moved from decades of violent conflict to the peace we all enjoy and maintain today. Located in the famous Bogside area of Derry in the North of Ireland. The small working class area witnessed some of the key events of the conflict including the Battle of the Bogside and Bloody Sunday. The museum explores the period from August 1972 to May 2007 to explain how the conflict evolved into the peace process and the impact of both on the local area. The museum uses artefacts, oral history, archive footage, interactive features and unique displays to explain how the Agreement was reached, its implementation and its potential implications for the future of the island.

The museum explores the period from August 1972 to May 2007 to explain how the conflict evolved into the peace process and the impact of both on the local area. The museum uses artefacts, oral history, archive footage, interactive features and unique displays to explain how the Agreement was reached, its implementation and its potential implications for the future of the island. It also features the key role played by three Bogsiders – John Hume, Martin McGuinness and Mitchel McLaughlin – in creating the conditions that have led to the peace we all enjoy today. All three men played a key role in developing the 1998 Good Friday Agreement which provided a political template for resolving the conflict and a future which could be determined on the principle of consent.

An excellent museum which makes the history of the troubles and peacemaking very accessible. Takes a few hours to get around and read/watch everything but well worth it! Fantastic friendly staff and a lovely cafe next door.
The museum has a very interesting and informative exhibit. The use of multi media makes it accessible to a large range of learning styles.
Such an informative museum, loads to take in, give yourself a few hours to read it all, not to be rushed, loads of souvenirs to buy. Lovely cafe, just off through another door, for a little break and then back in for the second half of your visit
A must see and experience when you visit Derry. Michael Cooper, the curator of the museum spoke to us about his research and experience of research and his own life experiences.
Brilliant wee museum, very thought provoking and real - highly recommend.
I visited this museum with a school group studying the conflict in Northern Ireland. The exhibit presents the history of The Troubles through the lens of the Bogside community, making it both accessible and meaningful for me as an adult and for my students (ages 14–18). The museum emphasizes three local community members who helped broker the Good Friday Agreement. It thoughtfully traces their journeys from the conflict to peacemaking, while also highlighting the roles played by women, young people, and ordinary citizens who worked steadily toward peace. I was especially struck by the museum’s opening statement, which references the The Principles for Remembering in a Public Space. As a history teacher, I appreciate this acknowledgment. It reflects a careful, reflective approach to public memory and signals that the museum views peacemaking not simply as a historical outcome, but as an ongoing responsibility.
Really interesting and very informative. Loads and loads of informative artefacts and videos to see. This is a must for people wanting to learn about the troubles from the 80's onwards. Please visit the free Derry museum first before visiting here ( that's from the 60's to the early 80's. )
There is a lot of information to take in and it's so hard to believe it was not so long ago either! Well set up and staff were very helpful. Be prepared there is a lot reading to do!!
An informative and challenging insight into the key players involved in the Peace Process. Brilliantly laid out with thought-provoking installations offering a non-biased retelling of a recent time in history. Friendly staff who were more than happy to chat after our visit to give their experiences of living through ‘The Troubles’. A truly outstanding museum!
