Traveler reviews
Must see exhibit in Dublin
A moving and informative exhibit of a harrowing history, the famine exhibit is most impressive for the clarity of its explanations and context it provides. This is such an important part of Irish history that is not adequately covered elsewhere, so no visit to Dublin would be complete without a visit here.
More than an experience, an exercise in conscience
A very important exhibition about the history of Ireland. The general idea that people have about that part of history was a national disaster but, in reality, it is a catastrophe. I did not know the details or the brutality of the events in depth. As a point for improvement, I think it should become a permanent museum, to remember constantly so as not to forget, to remember to know what many migrants are fleeing from and thus perform an exercise of collective conscience and solidarity. It touches on too many sensitivities to remain a mere exhibition. Furthermore, the Spanish translation has many opportunities for improvement. Relating the history of Ireland to the present, I think points can be connected with Ukraine today, obviously saving the distances, it makes some sense. So, what seems like history here, a country with its own personality between two large blocs, suffers a great national trauma that continues in forced migration, in an forced diaspora. I am very grateful for the service received. I learned about this exhibition thanks to the promotional work at the gate of Stephen's Park.
More, please!
This is absolutely incredible! A story worth telling. Our history books really glossed over the ugly history of this famine.
Not to miss!
A time in Ireland’s past I knew very little about. Heartrendering and humbling. Don’t miss it!
Exellent
As a guide from the EPIC museum I would highly recommend visiting this experience it’s very informative and explanatory
