Rediscovering Antrim's Past > View Antrim articles
If you are planning to visit Antrim whether for leisure or for business, take some time to get yourself acquainted with the place. It pays to have an intense knowledge of the location for a better appreciation of it.

Guide your steps towards Belfast’s Botanic Garden and go straight to Ulster Museum for a start of a true Irish encounter. Don’t worry because you do not need some magic words like “open sesame” to open this museum’s door, all you actually need is a knowledge-craving heart and mind that will soon have their fill. Ulster museum is a top site to visit while in Antrim for it shelters a wide range of Irish gems from arts to archaeology and from natural world to ethnography.

Reward yourself with an essential perceptive of the history of Irish people in this outstanding museum. Ulster’s department of Archaeology and Ethnography has a number of remarkable collection, exhibitions and resource materials pertaining to the genealogy of the Irish race. Ulster will surely lure you into thinking you were sort of sipped in a space hole where you are brought back in the past – well, not literally of course.

Art enthusiasts will certainly take pleasure in the art collections of Ulster. In this magnificent array of masterpieces, you will find work of arts in the field of painting, sculpture, paper painting and drawings, furniture, fashion, textiles, silver and metal work, jewelry, pottery and glass – amazingly even dolls and toys collection.

In Antrim, specifically in Ulster, you will have the luck of rediscovering the significant contributions of a renowned Irish artist, William Conor. The museum offers you the chance to understand why this famed artist has made his own relevant mark in Belfast. Feast your eyes on a genuine work of genius in Conor’s masterpieces. Perhaps, you can even come up with a distinct justification of why these works has such a great influence in Belfast and its people.

One crucial lesson I got from well traveled friend is that the key to an extraordinary travel lies in the level of connection you established with the place. My own version would be: The key to an excellent stay in Co. Antrim is a short visit at Ulster Museum.
