The displays reflect the pivotal role nearby<br />

Bangor Abbey held in early Christian <strong>Ireland</strong> and<br />

throughout Europe. <strong>Discover</strong> how the monks<br />

met their fate at the hands of the Vikings<br />

and visitors will love the full-size Monk’s Cell<br />

and Viking Long-house. Nostalgic displays on<br />

Bangor’s early days as a resort, plus a mini<br />

cinema combine with temporary exhibitions<br />

to make this a ‘must’ for all ages. Here you can<br />

also have a rest and enjoy a meal or snack in<br />

the Museum café.<br />
