Anyone with Irish ancestry should visit

The museum has a wealth of information. But the highlight for me was spending time with a genealogist. I learned more about my great grandmother’s family and more websites to check out.

Fascinating look into the history of Ireland and its people.

EPIC was definitely worth a visit from our hotel in Dublin. You get to stamp a passport along the way to make sure you see everything. From politics to culture and everything between, I learnt a lot from this museum. Happy to see Snow Patrol (my favourite band) featured in the album section. Watched the Riverdance bit a few times as brings back memories of my Nan. Crowds were a good level and worth a visit even if you only can spare a few hours. Highly recommended.

Good interactive experience

Very interesting self guided tour. Well executed interactive exhibition about history of Irish emigration and the influence the Irish have had all over the world. I especially enjoyed the history part and how the stories of individuals came to life. Parts of it was very moving too. We spent two hours inside. On entrance you're given a 'passport' which you can stamp on each room. I guess it's fun for kids but it does not really do anything. On hindsight, I would just skip the line to the stamping machine to save time. Outside there are lockers where you can leave your bags and jackets. Also by the entrance there are some cafes and bars to have a snack/lunch in. We went for lunch at Harbour Master Inn across the road. Presenting the EPIC entrance ticket you get a discount.

Don’t miss it, but allow time

We only had an hour spare, but will certainly go back tomorrow if we have time. There is lots to see, hear, and read concerning emigration and emigrants.
