No trip to Dublin would be complete without a visit to EPIC. Winner of Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction for three consecutive years at the World Travel Awards, this interactive and innovative museum sheds the stereotypes of leprechauns and pots of gold and is the go-to place to discover exactly what it means to be Irish through the stories of those that emigrated.
The Irish diaspora have since had a huge impact around the world, going on to becoming globally recognised scientists, politicians, poets, artists, musicians and even outlaws. If you’re one of the 70 million people worldwide that claim Irish heritage and ancestry, this museum will feel like the start of a homecoming, connecting you and your story to so many others.
At EPIC, you don’t just read about Irish history, you get fully immersed by this breath-taking story in state-of-the-art interactive galleries, complete with touch screens, motion sensor quizzes and a feast of powerful audio and video to complete the experience.
EPIC is located at Dublin's Docklands and just a 10-minute walk from the city centre. With The Irish Family History Centre located on-site, The Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship a 2-minute walk away and plenty of cafés and restaurants on-site, you can spend an entire day at the one location.

Very moving. Really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Museum is well run and staff are friendly
Great venue and not overcrowded
Really enjoyed this modern interactive museum nestled in the massive CHQ building on the River. Entertaining and informative without overkill. Took about one hour to see everything. I learned a lot about Ireland (I have Irish ancestors) as did my husband (not a lick of Irish). Places to sit and rest while watching videos or reading. Small well designed rooms felt cozy. Starbucks and healthy restaurant for lunch in the same building. Busses and train station very close.
Definitely worth of visit! Interessting, interactive, informative, creative…
insgesamt sehr informativ
This is most fun for children and people who read slowly (or not at all). Much of the written material is presented at a glacial pace without an option to advance text easily. The space is visually appealing and well organized.
Outstanding in every way!
