Overview

Quotes Logo The Irish Famine Museum / Exhibition Dublin tells a sad but important story about Ireland's past. It's about the Irish Potato Famine, also called the Great Hunger. This was a time in the 1800s when many people didn't have enough food, got sick, and died.

When someone visits the Irish Potato Famine Museum they can walk around and look at wall panels that tell the story. They can also watch a short film that's about 15 minutes long. The museum also has real things from that time on display. People can also buy a book or a USB stick with more information about the exhibition. The museum offers translation guides in French, German, Italian, and Spanish for those who need them. However, the book and USB stick are not included in the entry ticket and must be purchased separately.

This experience takes place entirely inside the Irish Potato Famine Museum in Dublin. It is not a walking tour of Dublin. This experience helps visitors learn about the history of the Irish Potato Famine. Quotes Logo
