Down County Museum is located in the historic buildings of the 18th-century County Gaol of Down in the centre of Downpatrick. The museum houses a permanent exhibition 'Down Through Time' covering 9,000 years of history, restored cell blocks with life-size figures of prisoners and their gaolers, and temporary displays. The museum is fully accessible for families with young children and runs family days, living history events, craft workshops, and demonstrations throughout the year. Entry is free.
