EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum experience is in Dublin’s CHQ building, just a short walk from O’Connell Street or Trinity College.

The hustory of the plight of the Irish was presented in such a way that it appeared to come to life.A sophisticated yet fun way to incite kids to want to explore the museum in its interactive portrayal;the museum guides were helpful and very polite and friendly.
John_W, Apr 2026
Wonderful exhibit with interactive rooms, videos, and presentations telling the story of Irish Emigration. Very moving but also inspiring. This is a must visit if you are going to Dublin and have any ancestors who might have left the island.
Laura_N, Mar 2026
Wonderful museum dedicated to the history of Irish immigration. Using technology and interactive exhibits, the museum is engaging and educational.
Jason_M, Mar 2026
It’s 50/50 if your and your family will like this. If they or you like history then yes. But it’s not at interactive as we thought.
Michael_D, Mar 2026
Well worth a visit - plenty to see. School trips in so quite busy. Need at least 2 hours to see all exhibits.
Gerard_F, Jan 2026
Brilliant visit to the Epic museum. Found out so much about my country. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Jermey_E, Jan 2026
It was very enlightening and easy to understand follow along and digest. Please engaging from the beginning. I highly recommend using the audio as well to help when you enter each room.
Tina_N, Dec 2025
If you are from Irish descent you should definitely check this out. Very educational, emotional and inspiring.
Tracey_B, Nov 2025
Good tour. The exhibits were all very interesting and it was easy to work our way through the sections at a steady pace
Marjory_A, Oct 2025
Very well organised exhibition. Perhaps almost too much information for one visit, especially if you have little knowledge of the subject.
Linda_S, Oct 2025
The museum covered the many aspects of the Irish people. It was a deeply informative and moving experience.
Shawn_M, Oct 2025
It was very interactive, can be overwhelming with the large topic the museum attempts to cover. I do like the layout & the passport stamps
Diane_K, Oct 2025
Lovely helpful staff
Flexible- able to return the next day if you are unable to finish your tour the same day
Able to go at your own pace if you don’t want to join the guided tour
Interactive
Informative
Slightly distracting when there are two screens with audio at the same time
Robin_Z, Oct 2025
They will tell you to expect to spend 1.5 hours (90min) to see the museum. We spent 3 hours. The museum is excellent. Really well done with interactive exhibits and a nice flow. The “Passport” you use to “travel” through the galleries is brilliant. Highly recommend as a Dublin must see.
rita_c, Oct 2025
Absolutely wonderful staff and facility I paid a few extra Euros and got quite a bit of my family Irish history taken care of
Christine_C, Oct 2025
A wonderful and relevant history lesson. As our family left Ireland in 1856, it was great to learn so much about their life before they left
Dayna_P, Oct 2025
The museum was excellent. Very well done. Quite educational . The Irish diaspora was vast and occurred for different reasons.
Adrian_M, Oct 2025
I visited EPIC, the Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin on a bright morning and left inspired. Interactive exhibits, personal stories, and immersive galleries transported me across centuries of journeys, hardships, and triumphs. I smiled reading letters, hearing accents, and tracing family names on the digital walls. A friendly guide shared anecdotes that made history feel intimate and alive. The design, colourful, modern, and respectful, kept me engaged. Before leaving I bought a memento in the gift shop and paused to reflect in the café. It was a joyful, moving experience that celebrated resilience and connected me to global Irish stories.
Jean_C, Sep 2025
A thorough, immersion experience. Covers every aspect of Irish emigration. Highly recommend for people of all ages.

gweneth_o, Sep 2025
Interactive and well done . Great use of technology! Wasn’t crowded though there were a lot of people but seemed
AnnLouie_S, Aug 2025
Our visit to the EPIC Museum was truly enjoyable, largely due to its engaging and interactive presentation of Ireland’s history. The museum does a remarkable job of capturing the country’s journey from past to present, offering insights that are both educational and inspiring. The passport stamping activity added an extra layer of fun, especially for families visiting with children.
I would highly recommend visiting EPIC—there is so much to discover and appreciate about the Emerald Isle in this thoughtfully designed and memorable experience.
Helen_M, Aug 2025
This was a very educational experience . I highly recommend this exceptional museum to anyone who visits Dublin.
Margaret_M, Aug 2025
Great museum experience highlighting Irish history, success and contributions through generations of hardship.
lori_h, Aug 2025
Self paced, lots of interactive bits, not crowded at all Sunday morning 🙌🏻. Comfortable, situated on historical building, great gift shop, covers so very many facets of Irish history, sport, music, inventions, politicians, impactful emigrants…..fascinating!
Elaine_N, Aug 2025
Touching and informative. I was enthralled through the history and the stories of the immigrants through famous Irish people. But I "faded" and did not stay long through the sports section....but, then I care nothing for sports! That's just me! Overall, a true experience I will value and remember. Gave me much more understanding of what my Irish ancestors went through.
Alan_H, Aug 2025
Excellent exhibit, very interactive and extremely informative. It makes points that one would not feel are intuitive to general knowledge. Definitely recommended.
Brooke_C, Aug 2025
Neither of us are very interested in museums but this one held our attention for quite a while. Highly recommend whether you have Irish roots or not!!
Donna_D, Jul 2025
