Guide to visit EPIC - The Irish Immigration Museum: what to see, tickets, prices & more

Ireland’s history has always been marked by immigration: the recent economic crisis, decades of religious oppression, the Great Famine of 1845 that pushed one-fourth of the population to travel the seas to America for a chance to survive… for years, the Irish were forced to leave their country, bringing with them their culture and heritage.
