Pop-up museum

Kendra_S, Jun 2025

A lot of information to learn about the famine Irish history! The museum felt like a pop-up though…upstairs in a mall and self guided by walking around the room reading posters. The only AV component was a 15min video. If you or your family doesn’t like reading this is not the experience for you.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for your visit and review. Note that this is a pop-up which ends in September. We try to limit text as much as possible and include many 19th century photos, an original soup pot, and newspapers.

Interesting exhibit....

Interesting exhibit. Environment was not climate controlled so it was too warm in the area in which the film was seen.

potato famine project

quick self guided temporary exhibition that highlighted the various poor political decisions and slow disaster response to an agricultural crisis

Thank You

Typical Government Response to help the people they represent!

AlanM_B, Aug 2024

Realizing how inept the British Government and landowners were to the plight of the Irish people in general. eg. .. spending twice as much money on the military personnel in Ireland to quell any potential’complaints’ as they did in aiding starving Irish throughout the years of famine.

Great tour

History of Ireland! Great exhibition and experience. I learn a lot. Now I understand what was a reason for emigrations, 5 million Ireland people were thrown out from the island!!

A fabulous exhibit! Don’t miss understanding what it was like

Very affecting little museum/exhibition. I knew most of the details,my son didn't and left in a mess of emotions and rage at the treatment of our ancestors It's very important to see a d experience. Please take the time to visit.
