概要
Delve deeply into Irish history at the EPIC Emigration Museum and get a taste of the iconic potato that forced millions of people to leave the country. Few attractions are quite so all-encompassing and interactive, as you will discover through the museum’s engaging stories of Irish emigrants that achieved greatness in everything from music and art to sports and fashion. Unlike most museums, this one invites you to participate by swiping through video galleries, taking motion sensor quizzes, watching videos and listening to remastered historical audio tracks. It is a complete immersion, much of it centered around the diaspora and how those Irish emigrants shaped the world. Many left in the mid-1800s because of the potato famine that caused widespread starvation and disease. You will see how the potato has redeemed itself at the Boxty House restaurant by watching a chef prepare authentic boxty potato pancakes. Samples will be served with a selection of craft beers.
