West Belfast evolved as country people moved to the city to work in its 32 mills. Though many have gone, this imposing 19th century linen mill remains, and today houses an art gallery with regular exhibitions from local artists' studios. The Irish Republican History Museum has been set up by a local community group and consists of artefacts and archive material from former prisons. The Museum is open Tues-Sat 10:00-14:00 or on request for group tours.
