Discovery Centres
The Ulster Museum interactive discovery centres, Discover Art, History and Nature offer unique and exciting learning experiences to people of all ages
Object handling in the Discovery Centres
Learn something new and handle museum objects in our free, family-friendly sessions in each of the Discovery Centres on the second Saturday and Sunday of the month!
Our next Family Focus Sessions will take place on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May.
On Saturday, May 10th, learn about the wonders of coral in Discover Nature, visit Discover Art to observe a two-headed calf skull, and join in with our Second World War commemorations in Discover History.
On Sunday 11th May, explore the historic woolly mammoth in Discover Art, find out facts about elephants in Discover Nature and continue to join in with our commemorations of the Second World War in Discover History.
Our interactive Discovery Centres are a place to explore our museum collections in a different and exciting way. These family-focused sessions are drop-in and informal, providing the opportunity to touch and investigate objects on display. Some Centres will have activity-based exploration too.
Find Discover History on Level 1, Discover Nature on Level 3 and Discover Art on Level 5.
