EPIC Museum:
Located in Dublin's Docklands, it covers the history of the Irish diaspora and emigration to other countries. A museum with so much heart, it was voted as "Europe's Leading Tourist Attraction" at the 2019, 2020 and 2021 World Travel Awards.You won’t find leprechauns or pots of gold here, but you will discover that what it means to be Irish expands far beyond the borders of Ireland through the stories of Irish emigrants who became scientists, politicians, poets, artists and even outlaws all over the world.
Tourism doesn’t always have to lie beyond our borders.
This month we’re encouraging people to be a tourist in their own country and support the local attractions that contribute so much to our country’s rich history.
So, why not tick these museums off your bucket list this July?
