Reviews
"Excellent museum. Tickets can be booked online. They give you a passport checklist which you stamp each time you finish a section. Very impressed as it shows the history of Irish emigration as well as Irish contributions to the world. Loved how interactive it was and the audiovisuals were definitely top notch. Don’t forget to stamp your passport! I’d recommend this place for all tourists and Irish citizens alike!!"
"This tour was amazing! Not just the doom and gloom of the time, but full history of the why, how..and what happened next in Irish history and its people. The way they have framed how Irish people have impacted the world is really done well and hugely engaging. The art installation of transport options through time when you first go in is breathtaking. Suitable for all ages and mobility status as its easy to get around. They have this cool Irish passport you are given when you enter and you stamp it yourself and each section, kids loved it! It's located down the quays which is really only a short walk from O'Connell Street or you can get the Luas. Ticket can be reused within 30 days - brilliant idea as we are going back with friends we enjoyed it so much."
"This is such a cool, beautiful and tech filled experience. A truly impressive museum and feast for the eyes. I understand those saying that it’s not the most educational, but if you want more information touch screens can let you dive deep, while others can just enjoy the experience"
"AMAZING experience. The exhibits are all interactive and easy to read/visually engaging. You learn about all aspects of what it is to truly be Irish. You are given a "passport" at the beginning and stamp it in each room you go in (20 in total). The gift shop was nice. There is a LOT to see/read in the exhibits so plan on probably three hours if you want to read everything, or about 60-90 mins if you want a brief understanding but don't want to read/watch each screen."
