Ulster Museum
Located in the Botanic Gardens is the Ulster Museum, with substantial displays from Celtic and Early Christian times as well as a collection of gold and silver items recovered from the wreck of the "Girona", flagship of the Spanish Armada, which sank off the Giant's Causeway in 1588.
With works by Brueghel, Turner and Gainsborough among others, the museum art gallery is particularly strong in 17th and 18th C. European painting in addition to modern Irish art. The sections of the museum devoted to natural and industrial history are also full of interest. The portraits of prominent persons of Northern Irish descent, including ten American presidents, testify to the scale of Irish emigration down the centuries, particularly to the United States.
