EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Digital emigration museum in Dublin Docklands, Ireland.
EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is housed in a restored Georgian warehouse in Dublin's Docklands and focuses on Irish emigration across centuries. The building contains twenty galleries with interactive exhibits that document the journeys of millions of Irish people to destinations around the world.
The building was constructed in 1820 as a warehouse and reopened as a museum in 2016 to preserve the story of over 10 million Irish people who emigrated worldwide. The collection documents how this movement transformed communities and nations across the globe.
The galleries present stories of Irish people who left their homeland and shaped science, politics, literature, and art around the world through personal accounts and video testimonies. Visitors encounter the real experiences of individuals who built new lives far from home.
The museum is open daily and sits near the George's Dock Luas stop and several DART stations in the area, making it easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should allow time to explore the galleries at a comfortable pace, as the exhibits are extensive and offer many interactive elements.
Visitors can trace their Irish ancestry with the help of professional genealogists at a dedicated research center within the museum. This service connects personal family research to the larger stories shown throughout the galleries.
