Discover what it means to be Irish at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. Across interactive and immersive galleries, experience the incredible stories of people who carried Irishness across the globe. EPIC is not your average museum.

Stamp your EPIC passport in each gallery as you journey through the lives of actors, athletes, musicians, scientists, politicians and everyday people who helped shape the world.

Awaken your senses in Isle of the Senses and see 1,500 years of emigration move beneath your feet in Leaving the Island. Interactive experiences throughout the museum bring Ireland’s global story to life. Tours are self guided so you can explore at your own pace. Audio guides in multiple languages are also available.

A three time winner of Europe's Leading Tourist Attraction, EPIC is set within the atmospheric vaults of the CHQ Building in Dublin’s Docklands.

Visitors can also explore nearby attractions like the Irish Family History Centre and the Jeanie Johnston.
