Exhibition

Northern Ireland: Living with the Troubles

IWM London, London
26 May 2023 - 7 January 2024
Free to all

This exhibition will invite visitors to further their understanding of the Troubles through the multiple perspectives of individuals affected by the conflict.

The Troubles engulfed Northern Ireland in conflict for nearly 30 years. It was – and remains – a contentious period, with roots going back centuries.

A fragile ceasefire was signed in 1998, yet many aspects of the conflict remain unresolved to this day and are highly contested by those who experienced and participated in the conflict.

The exhibition will explore the Troubles through four key sections. In each section, visitors will hear from people with a range of differing perspectives and encounter objects that illuminate their experiences. The voices you hear will emphasise that there is no single story everyone involved can agree on.

An exhibition glossary will be available explaining the key terms and abbreviations which feature, to help visitors get to grips with the complexities of this multi-faceted conflict.
