    Very interesting

    Great to learn about emigration, there’s obviously been a lot of investment into the museum. I’d say it’s better for older children and adults. The museum is very interactive.

    Absolutely Fabulous Modern Museum!

    Thoroughly enjoyed this museum, which was recommended by our taxi driver when we arrived in Dublin. This was one of the most thoughtful, engaging and innovative museums I have been to. Especially great for young people and old alike.
