EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

About EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

Housed in the historic CHQ vaults on Dublin's Custom House Quay, EPIC tells the story of Irish emigration through 20 fully digital, interactive galleries rather than traditional glass-case exhibits. Kids engage directly with touchscreens, motion-sensor quizzes, films and audio stations exploring how Irish emigrants shaped music, sport, politics and culture around the world, and children collect passport stamps and follow a dedicated trail as they move through the museum, which keeps younger visitors engaged for the roughly 90-minute self-guided visit. The format suits a wide age range: younger kids enjoy the passport and sensory elements while older children and teens get more from the interactive games and multimedia storytelling. The building is fully wheelchair accessible with lifts throughout, and there's a Quiet Room and sensory supports for visitors who need a calmer space, plus multilingual audio guides. An on-site Irish Family History Centre offers genealogy consultations for families curious about their own emigrant ancestors. With CHQ's restaurants and cafés right in the same building and Dublin's Luas stop nearby, it's an easy, weatherproof indoor outing for a family day in the city.
