Not for people who are already familiar with the sibject
If you have done work on your genealogy and studied the history of Ireland since 1800, there won't be much new information here for you. In my opinion, the exhibits spend way too much time emphasizing the many accomplishments of famous people whose lineage goes back to Ireland.
Operator response
Dear Jan B, we are sorry to hear that your visit did not meet your expectations.
While the first few galleries of the museum do focus on the reasons why the Irish left Ireland, we also aim to explore the impact of Irish emigrants and their descendants around the world. This includes their impact and influence in Sports, Music, Literature, Politics, and so much more.
Kind regards, the EPIC team.

Okay for Non Irish
The concept of this tour is nice. This tour is certainly for folks interested in learning the history about Ireland or if your ancestors are Irish. Others can enjoy if they are in to history and ready to either read or watch videos.

Meh
This was not for me. I think if you really were fascinated by the subject this could be a very interesting experience but tbh I wish I'd skipped it.
Operator response
Dear Alexander H,
we are sorry to hear that you did not think the museum was for you. EPIC takes a different approach to a traditional museum experience, using immersive digital galleries, personal stories and interactive exhibits to explore the story of Irish emigration. Our galleries look not only at the experiences of those who left Ireland, but also at the impact Irish emigrants and their descendants have had globally and the spread of Irish culture around the world.
Many visitors enjoy our approach to exploring both the challenges of emigration and the achievements and contributions of the Irish diaspora. However, we appreciate your feedback and the time you took to visit and share your perspective.
Kind regards, the EPIC team.
