What visitors say
Was really disappointed with Tower Museum. They’re moving to the new premises in 2027 so what you’d normally come for (exhibitions like “Derry story”) is closed and what is only open is something called “The Derry Girls”. Never heard about it and now that I read the plot I might watch it, still, the few rooms you walk in 10 minutes is too little to charge you 6 GBP per person. Would understand if if would be for free or so…. But hey, at least we saw a German WWII parachute mine😃 would love to come back once moved but not sure that will ever happen, Derry is an amazing place still not one you will revisit…

It was a very lovely experience! My friend and I went for the Derry Girls experience with the little time we had. If I had more time I would have explored the whole museum! I will come back next time to explore more!

FANTASTIC museum! We didn't expect the museum to be so big and complete. It tells the history of Derry since the first habitants until now. It shares all the controversies of the pasts with details and it's up to you which side you take. If you do it completely, the whole museum takes like 2 hours

We went to see the Derry Girls display in the museum and have to say, we weren't disappointed! It is brilliant and they have all the souvenirs and derry girls props that were really used in the show! Only bad thing is part of the museum under construction currently.
