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.

Traveler reviews
Exellent
As a guide from the EPIC museum I would highly recommend visiting this experience it’s very informative and explanatory
Understanding the famine
Interesting exhibit documenting the Irish potato famine. Short video supplements the featured commentary. Definitely, informative. You'll find it currently in the st Stephen's shopping center top floor.
Informative and worth a visit
Exhibition is in St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, we came across by accident so it’s not widely publicised in the normal online spaces. Exhibition is very informative and well worth visiting , however its reading from boards with no interactive material amd obviousky no exhibits to speak of.. There is a short film which puts things into more perspective. It does seem that this important part of the history is hidden away somewhat as more of the prominent central exhibitions focus on later political events. It’s definitely worth a visit
Great experience
What a wonderful experience and so informative!
Potato famine history in pictures tucked away
Little gem of an exhibition hidden on top floor of shopping centre. Interesting and informative history of potato famine and its tragic effects brought to life by photographic display and historical facts. Delivered in an easy to digest fashion. Minimal crowds. Highly recommend if interest in this time in history but short on time.
