Translations
The Museum of Free Derry website offers translations of the full museum narrative in Irish, Italian, Catalan, French, Spanish, German, and Basque. However, the Catalan and Basque translations date back to the original museum, which operated from 2007 until its redevelopment and reopening in 2017. These translations have not yet been updated to include the expanded content of the redeveloped museum, but still provide an accurate account of the museum narrative.
