Ulster Folk Museum

This place is fabulous, two massive exhibitions all in one place and they're both linked by a free shuttlebus service. The outdoor Folk Gallery is brilliant, old buildings and artefacts have been brought here and restored and laid out in such a way as to tell a story about how Northern Irish people lived and worked in the early 20th century. There an old village set up with church, shops, and town square and with staff members in periodic dress, its like stepping back in time...

St John's chapel Portadown (1905), which was taken down brick by brick in the 1980's and reconstructed in the Ulster Folk and transport museum, Cultra.
