The EPIC Museum in Dublin’s Docklands has just been named best attraction in Europe for the third time by the World Travel Awards! This museum, entirely dedicated to the history of Irish emigration, is the first establishment in Europe to have won three awards! For Patrick Greene, CEO and director of the museum, this victory is a testament to the resilience, creativity and commitment of the museum team. It’s a great reward, and a source of pride for the people of Dublin!
The Epic Museum
In Dublin, the Epic Museum is one of the up-and-coming establishments that are becoming increasingly popular! It has to be said that the place offers a unique experience, not to be found anywhere else.
Visitors are invited to experience step by step the tumultuous lives of the 10 million Irish emigrants: from their flight from Ireland at the time of the Great Famine, to their arrival by boat in the United States, a place where everything seemed possible. You can then ask genealogists to verify your Irish origins… A truly immersive experience!
The museum covers everything from the boat journey, which sometimes led to shipwrecks, epidemics and deaths, to the Irish settling in America and Australia, with all the difficulties of everyday life… Their ability to integrate, the way they have re-established their culture…etc.
The museum offers well-thought-out, interactive and entertaining reconstructions. A tribute to the Irish diaspora, and a better understanding of Ireland’s influence in countries like the USA.
Ireland’s Minister for Tourism Catherine Martin took the opportunity to welcome the new appointment:
The EPIC Museum is an excellent cultural ambassador for Ireland. It’s a victory for the museum, for Dublin and also for Irish tourism”.
