In Belfast, Northern Ireland, the Northern Ireland War Memorial stands as a place of remembrance. Opened in 2007 on Talbot Street, it succeeded a previous building known as Memorial House. This earlier structure had been situated in Waring Street, on a location that sustained damage during the Blitz of 1941.

The memorial is home to the significant Home Front Exhibition. It also features the first national memorial dedicated to those who lost their lives during the intense bombing of Belfast, an artwork created by Carolyn Mulholland.
