When Belfast
Central Library
opened in 1888 the
library occupied the ground and 昀椀rst 昀氀oor,
while the top 昀氀oor and ground 昀氀oor rear extension
housed the museum and art gallery. In the ornate
plasterwork you can still see the artists palette and
brush reminding us of the original purpose of the space.
