This Famine Sculpture depicts what these poor starved human beings must have looked like in 1847 during the famine in Ireland More

sculpture looked like what it was supposed to represent / the famine ship museum is nearby its definately worth a look More

the best memorial sculpture I've ever seen. Only time I've ever seen the essence of an event actually 'get it' More

this is a tremendous piece of art that brought and understanding of what my great grandparents went through prior to leaving for the US.. haunting.. More

Not visited this but have seen the one in Mayo - outside Westport several times. Choice of two cafes. Pleasant easy stroll to the ruined chapel - difficult plod up Croke Patrick. The sculpture is actually opposite the mountain and (happily) opposite the refurbished pub! More
