"Art enthusiasts should make time to visit the Metropolitan Arts Centre in the lively Cathedral Quarter. The MAC, as it’s known, has a great kids program if you are traveling with tiny ones in tow. To continue the art tour, head to The Golden Thread Gallery, Belfast’s leading contemporary visual arts gallery showcasing both local and international cutting edge artists. Exhibitions rotate frequently—a recent show put a spotlight on outstanding feminist and queer photographic artists from the Belfast School of Art."
