We didn’t know what to expect as we weren’t searching our past. I was surprised by the number of Irish who emigrated at specific times and also where they went. I also wondered why certain Irish people were not included ie Sheridan- Swift was. More on James Joyce not a lot on Oscar Wilde. Very little on politics and it’s impact except for Cromwell. It appeared to be treading a fine line of pc ness so as not to upset what I believe might still be some underlying tensions, a shame but comprehensible- maybe a job once more years have flown under the bridge! Despite all that a very good overview and introduction to the irish - we were there for 2 1/2 hours.

Such an innovative and fascinating museum. So unlike any other. Very few static displays almost all are visual interactive and allow hands on manipulation of the story and the info. As a descendent of Irish emigrants it was wonderful to come to a place that told the story of the exodus of Ireland. First class museum not to be missed

A fantastic, interactive museum that is a must see for anyone with a connection to someone who has left Ireland. The recommended time to take to visit all the exhibition rooms is 90 mins, but I took 2.5 hours. Free return entry within 10 days is a great bonus! There are lots of interesting stories to learn here, both happy and sad. The level of detail in the exhibits is amazing, from a replica of an Irish pub, to an old library, to the inside of a coffin ship that evolves into an airplane on the Dublin Airport runway. Every aspect of Ireland’s emigration story has been told by this museum!

During our recent visit to Dublin, my boyfriend Pete and I stumbled upon the EPIC Immigration Museum, and we were pleasantly surprised by what we discovered. We would rate our experience 4 stars! Our entry was made even more appealing thanks to our Go City Card, which included admission. Upon entering, we were given a passport, a unique touch that added an element of fun and engagement to our visit. We eagerly stamped our passports in each room, which turned out to be a delightful surprise. The museum truly lives up to its name - it's EPIC in its scope and offerings. We were amazed by the variety of exhibits and interactive displays that covered a wide range of topics. From Irish literature and sports to criminals, movies, and theatre, there seemed to be a room for every interest. The themed rooms were not only diverse but also incredibly interesting. We found ourselves immersed in the rich history and culture of Ireland, learning about the contributions of immigrants in various fields. The interactive elements added a layer of engagement that made the experience both educational and enjoyable. While we thoroughly enjoyed our visit, we're rating it 4 stars as we believe there's room for improvement in terms of providing even more detailed information in some areas. However, the EPIC Immigration Museum is undeniably a must-visit for those interested in Irish history and culture, and we left with a greater appreciation for the impact of immigration on this beautiful country.

We bought a ticket that included the Jeanne, Johnston ship and the EPIC museum. The ship was pretty interesting, but we thought the museum itself was the bomb. Loved it. There are 20 stations you go through and you stamp your passport. That may sound hokey, but it becomes kind of addicting, and Fun. The museum is only about 7 to 8 years old. It is very clean. It was very well designed. Somebody put a lot of effort and a lot of cash into this. We thought it was the most interesting museum we visited in Ireland. Lots of info about what it means to be from Ireland and to have emigrated to elsewhere in the world and all the influence that the Irish have had throughout the world. Well worth your time, especially if you have any Irish heritage or friends from Ireland.

This museum was immersive and interactive, taking visitors through Irish emigrants' experiences of leaving their homeland and settling in other countries. The museum is well-designed to keep visitors moving through the displays. Visitors are given a "passport" to stamp as they pass through each room, which I think children would enjoy but seemed a bit juvenile for adults (but maybe I'm just being cynical -- I saw plenty of adults getting their stamps). Recognizing that most people who visit the museum are descendants of Irish emigrants, one of the last displays allows visitors to enter the name of an ancestor who left Ireland to include in the museum's database. Overall, the museum is visually stunning and one of the best I've ever visited for the thoughtful and entertaining ways it immerses visitors in the emigrant and immigrant experiences.

If you want to try to understand the Irish experience. This is a 21st Century operation; all interactive not a single object. Tells the story from 16th Century to RiverDance. About the Irish diaspora exclusively, which is an interesting concept. Not the country itself. If you really want to immerse plan for 2 hours, although you can go through as fast as you want.

Very interesting interavtive experience. There are lockers opposite to put bags in. You need code to get it which is on EPIC entrance ticket. There are also cafe and seating inside. Its an ideal place to go if its raining

The Irish diaspora is told in dramatic and engaging fashion. The site is a 19thC warehouse on the Liffey, itself interesting. The United Brewery, next door, is fine for a lunch and a pint. The story is well laid out -- of what impelled the Irish to leave and where they went. Arguably the most successful diaspora in history, they spread the culture and its values throughout the Western world. Worth two hours or more, depending on how Irish you feel.

Two of us visited the museum this morning on a wet Dublin morning. What an incredibly wonderful museum, going back many decades with film, photos, history with 20 stops to watch, sit, ponder and enjoy. A must if you are a visitor to Ireland, and you can trace your family name going back many generations. A cost of €22 per adult, we spent 2.5 hours here, just amazing.
