Brings Irish emigration to Life!! - Wonderful museum, experience, story telling....set up in an old waterfront wharf/warehouse. 20 different rooms to walk thru with either things to read, exhibits, interactive viseo screens, and videos that really brought these people to life. I was fascinated. Our tour group had 1 hour to tour museum & really could've used twice that time!!

Excellent but expensive - Excellent setting. Incredible what they have done. It's enough to stay for a couple of hours but I thought the entrance fee was very expensive. 23 Euros per person.

Slightly interesting but pricey - Pretty cool, some of it was interesting, but seemed to just be targeting Irish Americans. Probably wouldn’t go again but was at least mildly entertaining. Pricey.
