Collections
Fermanagh & Omagh District Council cares for a museum collection of over 14,600 artefacts, spanning thousands of years of local heritage. These items reflect stories of local, national, and in some cases international importance, with strong connections to the Fermanagh and Omagh region. Our multi‑disciplinary collections range from prehistory to the present, offering insights into the people, places and cultures that have shaped the area. Core strengths include:
History
Archaeology, Social History, Farming and Folklife, Costume and Textiles, Numismatics, Photography and Digital Media, Archives, and Contemporary Material.
Arts
Paintings, Prints, Drawings, Sculpture, Ceramics, Metalwork, Glass and Furniture.
Beyond these core areas, we also care for:
- Books and publications that support research and interpretation
- Education handling collections used in learning programmes and outreach activities
Our collections have developed through the generosity of individuals, the Friends of Fermanagh County Museum and with assistance from funding bodies. Thank you!
