The Museum of Free Derry tells the story of how a largely working-class community rose up against the years of oppression it had endured. The museum and archive have become an integral part of Ireland’s radical and civil rights heritage. The museum also tells the story of Bloody Sunday, the day when the British Army committed mass murder on the streets of the Bogside. The museum is a public space where the concept of Free Derry can be explored in both historic and contemporary contexts.
