Experience Ireland on a deeper level. Visitors will not find leprechauns or pots of gold, as the museum reveals how Irish identity extends well beyond this small island’s shores. Through the tales of emigrants who became scientists, politicians, poets, artists and outlaws worldwide, explore why 'I’m Irish' is one of the world’s most engaging conversation starters.
The three time winner of Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction is fully interactive and digital and includes free return within 10 days of visit. The tour guides can assist with hundreds of stories told within these walls and there is an on site genealogy service with Irish Family History Centre.
