Holiday to Belfast #3 - Museum & Botanic Gardens

[debris4spike]

On the first day I was in Belfast I used the "Hop On Hop Off" bus, and got off at The Botanic Gardens ... lovely.  On the edge of the gardens was the Ulster Museum.  I will admit it wasn't a great lay-out (from my point of view) as I seemed to see a few things more than once, and missed other things completely ... oh well, here's a taster -



























17th Century Bronze Temple Bells


Bomb disposal robot - 1972




Champion Irish Wolfhound - Patrick of Ifold, died aged 8 (I had a friend who used to own 2 of them, so it was a nice memory of Seamus & Siannie





Harp, 1785











Wine urn 1790


Shrine of St Patrick's hand, 1185


A flapper dress


Silver & gold plate teapot, 1991
