Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum

GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome to the Irish Linen Centre & Lisburn Museum. Originally a museum of local history of Lisburn and the Lagan Valley, Lisburn Museum expanded in 1994 with the opening of the Irish Linen Centre.  It is based in the centre of Lisburn in the city's 17th century Market House.

We collect and display the cultural heritage of the Irish linen industry and the history of the Lagan Valley region. Details of our collections, library facilities, education services and current exhibitions are available under the relevant pages.

Our Flax to Fabric exhibition tells the story of the Irish linen industry with skilled demonstrations of hand spinning and handloom weaving, as well as displaying wonderful examples of historic linen costume and furnishings.

In addition to displaying items from our collections, the Museum also has a range of temporary travelling exhibitions. For further details, see the exhibitions and events page.

The Museum Shop sells a wide range of high quality linen and craft goods.

NEW - An exclusive range of Irish linen damask table linen is on sale in the Museum Shop. A modern flax flower design, produced by our skilled staff, combines the traditions of quality and craftsmanship with today's sophisticated lifestyle. The range includes cloths, napkins, luncheon sets and runners and is available in white and natural. This exclusive range is available only at Lisburn Museum Shop.
