The Dorman Museum now has 8 permanent galleries to suit every taste from local history to dinosaurs, Ancient Egypt to 20th Century Woman. Our water gallery is especially popular with children.
In addition to our regular programme of exhibitions and events we are continuing to add to our permanent collections so visitors can be sure to see something new each visit.
Goodbody's cafe is proving to be a popular spot to relax and recharge your batteries during a visit and was recently praised in the Evening Gazette review of cafes.
Why not combine a visit to the Dorman Museum with a visit to the newly restored Albert Park, situated adjacent to the Museum?
