Tue 25 May - Mon 30 Aug

To mark the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Northern Ireland, North Down Museum has put together a special exhibition 'NI100: Our Borough, Our People' which explores local people who have made a national or international impact in their field over the past 100 years. 

Ards and North Down is home to a wealth of talent and this exhibition celebrates the achievements of individuals across eight different categories: - Arts, Entertainment, Leaders, Literature, Music, Science & Industry, Sports and Wartime.

We hope you enjoy browsing the exhibition and learning about our local achievers. The list is by no means definitive, so if you would like to see someone highlighted, please let us know!
