Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum

Fabulous interactive history of Irish Linen! I loved being told and shown by the lovely friendly staff about the exhibits.

Excellent place to visit to find out about the history of the Irish linen industry from the very start. Donna explained the construction and operation of a loom in great detail as well as demonstrating the skill of weaving. She was fascinating to listen to and so knowledgeable. We spent 2 hours there and enjoyed every minute.

Much more going on in this museum than I imagined. Up close and personal with the looms was a great experience.

Visited the museum last week and found an Egyptian Exhibition was on ,very interesting and well laid out . The Linen displays were well laid out with a full documented history of mills in the area. There was working looms and card cutting which the young lady described and gave us a demonstration of how they worked

Brought two separate groups of adults with disabilities to the exhibitions at the Linen Museum on Monday and Tuesday. We booked a free tour& workshop for both days and were shown around by Angus and Olivia. Both staff members connected so well with our group and we were made to feel so welcome. Angus and Olivia were so knowledgable about the history of Linen in Lisburn/Northern Ireland. Our participants had a wonderful time. We look forward to booking another tour with you very soon. Thank you!!

A nice museum with exhibitions showing the history of Lisburn and also everything related to linen manufacturing starting from the flax plant and ending with the finished products, with live demonstrations by knowledgeable and friendly staff. Free admissions and well worth a visit with your family.

Have visited the museum on numerous occasions for family events. Staff have always been excellent Definitely worth signing up to their mailing list as they regularly host events for kids.

Private tour of the exhibition's and the tour guide Ciaran we excellent. Great knowledge of all the exhibits and local interest helped tie the pieces together. Shall definitely be back to have another look.
