The Abingdon Collection
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet country road in Omagh, The Abingdon Collection is the kind of place you discover by happy accident, yet it leaves you wondering how such a treasure isn't on every must-see list. It feels less like a public institution and more like being granted privileged access to a fascinating individual's private world. The collections are wildly eclectic, spanning from local agricultural history to global curiosities, all curated with a clear personal passion. This isn't a sterile gallery; it's a deeply human and surprisingly intimate museum experience.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from antique farm machinery that tells the story of the local land beside delicate Japanese prints and an impressive array of vintage radios. The sheer variety is the main attraction, creating unexpected conversations between objects from different corners of the world.

Architecture & Building
Housed in what appears to be a converted and extended traditional stone farmhouse, the building itself is unassuming and charmingly rustic, blending seamlessly into its rural surroundings.
