Hotels near the EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

Brick vaults with arched ceilings frame this museum, set beneath the CHQ Building on Custom House Quay, a former dockside warehouse on the north bank of the River Liffey. EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum tells the story of people who left Ireland and the lives they built abroad, through galleries designed by Event Communications that lean on touchscreens, recorded voices and interactive displays in place of glass cases. Visitors follow the journey from the reasons for leaving to arrival overseas, with rooms given over to writers, musicians, inventors and sporting figures. Outside, the quay runs east along the river from the Custom House, and the bronze Famine figures stand on the same waterfront. Dublin Connolly station serves this part of the city. Stay in Dublin to visit it.
