After being on my ToDo list for a long time, my wife and I did the Epic tour with my adult son who was home from Canada for a holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour which is a great mix of audio, visual and tactile displays. It really emphasised what it means to be Irish and what our forbears went through. It is a culturally significant tour. My son returned to Canada singing its praises as a proud Irish man. 5 star tour, highly recommended

My 1st brother-in-law is of Irish descent and talked about his nurse grandmother who immigrated to the U.S. knowing that her chances of returning to Ireland were poor, and of his father who saw signs posted at businesses saying " Irish Need Not Apply." During my 1st visit to Ireland, I wanted to learn more about the history, culture, and diaspora of the Irish people from their point of view. The museum did not dissapoint. From the stacks of trunks and suitcases the immigrants carried of which the visitor could only imagine its precious cargo inside, to the multi-sensory exhibit to help envisign what the Irish missed: the smells and sights, feelings of touch and sound which are personal and familiar to everyone. The remainder of the exhibit was rich with Irish culture and history. It was well organized and easy to follow. My opinion is that no visit to Ireland is complete without visiting this wonderful museum. Bonus: Great location. easy to find, and eateries in the sahred mall from which to choose from.

I went with my nephew and niece-in-law, who both are deeply interested in Irish history. We all found the narrative flow to be impeccable and informative -- we all learned something new. The final section on the Irish language was especially inspiring.

EPIC is one of the finest exhibition I have visited. I brought my grand daughters aged 19 and 17. We interacted with all the exhibits. Laughed and cried along the way. Shared stories as we went. The smells were evocative. The video at one point felt like the news reel of the backdrop of my life. We spent 4 hours there and came away so proud to be Irish🇨🇮 Amazing experience.

Exhibition very easy to navigate and staff very helpful. As someone who lived abroad the exhibition was very relevant to my experience and my visiting friend who is english born of irish parents. The only detraction is the lack of decent restaurant to have a memoable meal to capitalise on a memorable outing.
