EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

You won't find leprechauns or pots of gold here, but you'll discover that what it means to be Irish expands far beyond the borders of Ireland through the stories of Irish emigrants who became scientists, politicians, poets, artists and even outlaws all over the world.  At EPIC, which was recently awarded Winner of Europe's Leading Tourist Attraction at the World Travel Awards 2019, 2020 & 2021, discover Ireland from the outside in and find out why saying "I'm Irish" is one of the biggest conversation starters, no matter where you are.

 

Get hands on with Irish culture and its past with our fully interactive museum - swipe through video galleries, dance through motion sensor quizzes, listen to remastered audio from 100 years ago and watch videos that bring Irish history to life.  At EPIC you'll discover the far reaching influence of Irish history, and the impact the 10 million Irish men and women who left Ireland had on the world.

•    Travel back in time through 1,500 years of history
