The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum
The Ulster Folk Museum at Cultra, a suburb of Belfast, was the first open air museum of its kind when it opened in 1958. It was inspired by the work of the Irish folklorist Emyr Estyn Evans (1905-89).

In the folk village, the visitor participates in a parallel world, that of the historical landscape of the Irish Cultural Revival. Many old vernacular buildings have been rescued from demolition and lovingly reconstructed in situ reminding us that sustainable is aesthetic. It also possesses an excellent research library that holds extensive sound and picture archives.
