Irish Famine & Emigration Exhibition Dublin - Irish Diaspora

About

Experience the story of the Great Irish Famine, also known as the Irish Potato Famine or Great Hunger – a devastating period of mass starvation, disease, emigration and death in 19th-century Ireland. View original artefacts including historic newspaper reports, a personal letter from the era, and a famine soup pot that bring the human reality of the tragedy to life. Follow the epic story of Irish emigration as millions left their homeland for new lives in Canada, America, Britain and Australia, shaping the global Irish diaspora. Unlike larger general history museums in Dublin, this exhibition offers a more intimate and focused exploration of one of the most defining events in Irish history. Allow around one hour to explore the illustrated panels and watch a 15-minute documentary overview. A high-quality book on the famine is also available to purchase. This temporary exhibition aims to help inspire a permanent Irish Famine museum in Dublin.
