Larne Museum & Arts Centre
Georgina Campbell
Larne Museum and Arts Centre is situated in the heart of Larne and is based in what was Carnegie Library which originally opened in 1906.
This historic building, beautifully restored and renovated, with many original features remaining intact houses the museum's modern and attractive displays, reflecting the distinctive history and heritage of the area. It is also the operational centre for all Larne Borough Council Arts, Heritage and Civic events.
Events and exhibitions are regularly held in the Museum and Arts Centre and the McNeill Theatre.
