The Naughton Gallery at Queen's is not to be missed for its beautiful venerable buildings and modern collections. Armagh County Museum in Ireland's ecclesiastical capital also merits a visit for its historic and current collections, and the Ormeau Baths Gallery is the foremost exhibition space for contemporary art practice in Northern Ireland.
