Snapshot Tour of Museum of Orange Heritage Belfast
Enjoy a snapshot tour of the Museum of Orange Heritage in Belfast, Northern Ireland (September 2015).
The Orange Order received support of £3.6 million from the European Union’s PEACE III Programme to develop two interpretative centres in Belfast and Co Armagh.
In a joint project to promote shared space and greater levels of reconciliation through education, the museums at the Institution’s headquarters at Schomberg House and Sloan’s House, Loughgall were officially opened in June 2015.
The extension of Schomberg House incorporates a museum, displaying a wealth of items and artefacts relating to the history of Orangeism across the world. The new state-of-the-art building also incorporates a research facility and educational resource, with particular access for school and cross-community focused visits.
The refurbishment of Sloan’s House – where the first Orange warrants were signed over 200 years ago – includes an extension to cater for an additional museum exhibition area and provision of detailed information relating to the early history of the Orange Order.
Irish Republican Museum
The Irish Republican Museum is just behind an old city mill off the Falls Road. This is a first for Belfast. Guns, posters, memorabilia, even a cell door and bed from Armagh jail, are a few of the displayed items marking the historic struggle of the IRA.
Our Tour of Garvagh Museum Co Londonderry
Garvagh Museum and Heritage Centre.
We are in Garavgh Co Londonderry. We have come to see Garvagh Museum sited in the walled garden of the former Garvagh Estate.
( Unfortunately it is only open June through to the end of August. I believe it can be accessed by special prior arrangement to bus parties and the like. )
I have visited plenty of museums but I have never visited anything quite like Garvagh Museum! You really need to make plans to come and see this hidden gem for yourself! The museum's various collections cover many aspects of rural and domestic life in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
'Garvagh Museum is unique in Northern Ireland in that it is a rural Folk Museum along the whole length of the Bann Valley.
The artefacts in this collection, which trace the history of the Bann Valley from 3000BC through to the first half of the 20th century were donated by the community, preserved by the community and are used by all creeds and classes. They provide a unique treasure trove of history with many important exhibits that bring history to life and help us to better understand our shared culture and heritage.
This unique collection comprising two thousand+ artefacts is a valuable resource used by both children and senior citizens alike. Schools from a wide area use it on a regular basis. Adults take a delight in examining the artefacts and recall how these items were used in a past age. As people reminisce about the “Good old days”, such stories would indicate that these were indeed hard times; as one old man said, “Bad old days”.
Opening Hours: Wed to Saturday 2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. June to August. Open all year round for group visits please contact the museum for details. garvaghmuseum.com

The Somme Heritage Centre Co Down part 1
I'm on the very busy Newtownards to Bangor dual carriageway heading towards the small village of Conlig. Near the 30 mile limits out of N'Ards I turn off left for the Somme Heritage Centre.
The Somme Museum opened in 1994 as an educational facility and tourist attraction. It examines Ireland's role in the Great War with special reference to local cross-community involvement in the three volunteer Divisions raised in Ireland: the 10th and 16th (Irish) Divisions, and the 36th (Ulster) Division. Since 2000 the Museum's remit has expanded into World War Two and other modern international conflicts. The Museum has increasingly focused upon the community relations potential of this shared history as a vehicle to further cross-community and cross-border contact, mutual understanding and reconciliation.
The Museum has an extensive collection of material from the Great War period and in the last number of years a growing collection from World War Two including a large oral history archive has been catalogued. In 2002 it became a fully registered, independent museum.

Football legend Pat Jennings and Northern Ireland Manager open the new Education and Heritage Centre at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park.
The centre tells the story of Northern Ireland football using the latest interactive technology and displays key dates from the 1880s to the present day.
Visitors and football fans get the chance to relive key football moments, whether it was the famous goal in Spain in 1982 or Gareth McAuley’s header against Ukraine in Lyon, and if you feel brave have a go at scoring a goal against the virtual Pat Jennings.
The Education and Heritage Centre showcases the Irish Football Association vision of promoting, fostering and developing ‘football for all’ in Northern Ireland.
Irish FA President David Martin said: “The creation of our Education and Heritage Centre at the National Football Stadium presents a fantastic opportunity for the Irish Football Association to showcase much of the 136-year history of the game here.
“From the Irish Challenge Cup and its first winners Moyola Park FC through to the present day and the exploits of our national team at Euro 2016, there is nostalgic coverage. The British Championship Trophy has remained in Northern Ireland’s possession as we were the last winners in 1984 and it is on display.
David Martin added: “I would urge our fans, and even those with just a passing interest in the game, to visit the centre. I am confident they will be impressed.”

For a number of years now, the Nassaudag has been held on the second day of Pentecost to commemorate the connection between Breda and the Nassau's. This year it was again the 11th episode of the Nassuadag.
The bond between the Nassau House and the Netherlands came into being in 1403. Count Engelbrecht I of Nassau married Johanna van Polanen, wife of Breda, in that year. Due to their growing family ownership, Bredase Nassaus quickly became one of the highest nobles in our country. They were also given increasingly important functions by the Dukes of Burgundy and Habsburg, which ruled large parts of the Netherlands as landlords. Count Henry III of Nassau (1483-1538), for example, held high civil and military offices. He was also involved in the education of Emperor Charles V. The Nassaus lived for one hundred and fifty years at the Castle of Breda. In this period they provided the impetus for Breda's prosperity and brought the city to development. The nobility who lived on the Castle of Breda worked as a magnet on the art sector, jewellery, design and architecture.
If you think of the Nassaus, you think of the royal house. The House of Orange-Nassau was first mentioned in 1544. William I, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg (1533-1584) - better known as William of Orange or William of Silence - then inherited the Southern French principality of Orange from his nephew René of Chalon (officially René Count of Nassau and Prince of Chalon-Orange). As Prince William he is the ancestor of the House of Orange-Nassau.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
De Nassaudag wordt sinds een aantal jaren op tweede pinksterdag gehouden om de band tussen Breda en de Nassau's te herdenken. Dit jaar was het alweer de 11e aflevering van de Nassuadag.
De band tussen het Huis Nassau en Nederland ontstond in 1403. Graaf Engelbrecht I van Nassau trouwde in dat jaar met Johanna van Polanen, vrouwe van Breda. Door hun groeiend familiebezit behoorden de Bredase Nassaus al snel tot de hoogste edelen van ons land. Zij kregen ook steeds belangrijkere functies toebedeeld van de Bourgondische en Habsburgse hertogen, die grote delen van de Nederlanden als landheren bestuurden. Zo bekleedde Graaf Hendrik III van Nassau (1483-1538) hoge burgerlijke en militaire ambten. Ook was hij betrokken bij de opvoeding van Keizer Karel V. De Nassaus woonden honderdvijftig jaar lang op het Kasteel van Breda. In deze periode gaven zij de aanzet voor de welvaart van Breda en brachten zij de stad tot ontwikkeling. De adel die op het Kasteel van Breda woonde, werkte als een magneet op de kunstsector, edelsmederij, design en architectuur.
Wie aan de Nassaus denkt, denkt aan het koningshuis. Het Huis Oranje-Nassau werd voor het eerst genoemd in 1544. Willem I, graaf van Nassau-Dillenburg (1533-1584) – beter bekend als Willem van Oranje of Willem de Zwijger – erfde toen het Zuid-Franse prinsdom Orange van zijn neef René van Chalon (officieel René graaf van Nassau en prins van Chalon-Oranje). Als prins Willem is hij de stamvader van het Huis Oranje-Nassau.

All Steamed Up - Steam Engines in Preservation.
All Steamed Up is a compilation of video clips taken at various Steam Engine Rallies around the province.It also includes some video clips of a narrow gauge and a standard gauge steam locomotive. It opens with a Charity road run arriving in Warrenpoint Co. Down. We then see various engines at two events - Ballymena Steam Engine Rally at Ballee and a second event at Ballymena Show Ground. The video concludes with Shane the narrow gauge steam engine running between the Giants Causeway and Bushmills County Antrim. This engine originally operated on the Shane's Castle narrow gauge railway. The final two clips show one of the steam engines, preserved by the Railway Preservation Society (based at Whitehead) near the Craigavon Balancing Lakes Co. Armagh.
USA: WASHINGTON: REACTION TO CATHOLIC PROTEST MARCH IN N. IRELAND
Natural Sound
Irish Americans objecting to a planned parade by Protestants through a Catholic neighbourhood of Northern Ireland have staged a protest outside the British Embassy in Washington.
The group displayed placards and banners denouncing the British Government's policy in the province and called for the march to be re-routed.
Standing on the roadside and appealing for support, members of the Irish American Unity Conference displayed their opposition to what they claim are human and civil rights violations in Northern Ireland.
The group were demonstrating against the planned Apprentice Boys march by Protestants on Saturday through a mainly Catholic neighbourhood in the Northern Irish town of Londonderry.
They say the parade can only end in the same violence which has characterised the rest of the so-called marching season.
They claim the march shouldn't be allowed to pass through Catholic areas.
SOUNDBITE:
Ideally we'd like to see the marches re-routed away from nationalist neighbourhoods. Also in an ideal world in the six counties the RUC would be disbanded because it is very much a sectarian police force.
SUPER CAPTION: Protester
Catholics say they consider the march insulting after it commemorates the defeat of Catholic armies to a band of Protestants in Londonderry three hundred years ago.
The group says more demonstrations are planned to be held in other cities across the United States.
