Irish Hunger Memorial, Memorial park in Battery Park City, Manhattan, United States.
The Irish Hunger Memorial spans half an acre with an elevated landscape featuring stones from all Irish counties and native vegetation from Ireland's western coast.
The memorial opened in 2002 to commemorate the Great Irish Famine of 1845-1852, during which one million people died and another million emigrated from Ireland.
The centerpiece includes an authentic nineteenth-century stone cottage from County Mayo, dismantled in Ireland and rebuilt stone by stone at the memorial site.
Located at 290 Vesey Street, the memorial offers free admission and includes educational displays about the famine through text projections and audio installations.
The structure incorporates a cantilevered design over glass and fossilized limestone, providing views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
