Epic, The Irish Emigration Museum, Dublin

Ireland’s diaspora history is more diverse than you may think.

Ever wondered why the Irish have made such an influence on the world? What is it that makes us Irish? How did such a small country make such a big impact on the world? You’ll find the answers to all these questions and more at EPIC.

Over the centuries more than 10 million people emigrated from Ireland – at EPIC you can find out why they left, where they went and how they shaped the world. The museum was founded on the belief that emigration is one of the most interesting ways to fully understand a country. As you uncover the stories of our emigrants, you’ll realise that emigration is not about what people leave behind, but what they bring with them.
