Irish Famine & Emigration Exhibition Dublin
Visitors walk through a series of illustrated wall panels featuring remarkable 19th-century photographs and an easy-to-follow narrative explaining the story of the Great Irish Famine. Learn about the mass emigration that followed, a story also explored in other Dublin attractions such as EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum and Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship and Famine Museum. Guests may also choose to sit and watch a 15-minute documentary overview film explaining the causes, events, and global impact of the famine. Along the way, see moving artefacts including historic newspaper reports, a personal letter from a father to his son, and a famine soup pot once used to feed starving families. A high-quality book about the Irish Famine is also available to purchase as a meaningful souvenir or gift to bring home.
