Experience the profoundly moving Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Exhibition, a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the island of Ireland, exclusively at The Linen Hall. This exhibition, produced by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, highlights the devastation wreaked by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, one of the most significant moments of the Second World War which ushered in the nuclear age.
EXHIBITION This exhibition draws on The Linen Hall’s extensive Baroness May Blood MBE archive to create a vivid portrait of one of Northern Ireland’s most important and inspirational women.
Visual artist Karolina Krzynowek draws inspiration from the Irish landscape to create breath taking artwork using various media. Her pieces, soft yet dynamic, forge connections to nature that resonate with observers. Specially selected paintings for this exhibition promise to instil a sense of connection to the natural world.
PANEL CONVERSATION As part of our ongoing celebration of extraORDINARYwomen , join us at The Linen Hall for a panel discussion honouring the life and legacy of Baroness May Blood, a pivotal figure in Northern Ireland's history.

We are delighted to host the Irish Writers Centre for a showcase event celebrating the finale of its Northern Soul Roadshow, a programme of events curated by writer-facilitator Fiona O’Rourke.

There is a growing sentiment among those engaged in Belfast’s history that the city should establish its own festival. The success of such an endeavour lays on the active support and participation of the public.
