Museum of Free Derry

This museum is located in the centre of Derry's Bogside district, only a short distance from the central bus station and firmly on the 'Troubles' tourist route.
The museum is similar to WWII museums found in France (the Resistance Museum in Limoges jumps to mind immediately) and its simplicity, humility and spiritualness mark it out as a 'must see'. It isn't too big (45 minutes would be enough) but contains many interesting artifacts from Bloody Sunday (30th January 1972) and its aftermath - including hate mail sent to the families of the victims. The museum serves to remind visitors of the violence that was perpetrated that winter day - by the British army - in the city.
It is a very moving experience and should be visited in conjunction with walking the city's walls and a visit to the Tower Museum. All in all, this is a very good museum of a fateful day in the city's modern existence
