Irish emigration museum targets 400,000 a year

Ireland‘s emigration museum Epic has received its 250,000th visitor, Dana Rush from Amarillo, Texas , EPIC’s 250,000th visitor. A fully digital museum, EPIC uncovers the dramatic and inspiring stories of the Irish people who travelled the world, reliving some of their greatest achievements in music, literature, sport, politics, fashion and science

It was Dana’s first visit to Ireland from the USA. She is visiting with her husband Avery, son Tarin and family friend Gabriel. Dana only recently discovered that she has Irish ancestry and is finding out more about these connections with the team at the Irish Family History Centre.

Neville Isdell, Founder and Chairman of EPIC, says: “I’m immensely proud to have reached this milestone in EPIC’s growth. We tell an essential Irish story and I’m delighted to see we are fast becoming a go-to destination for visitors to our island and Irish people alike. It has been a huge team effort and we look forward to welcoming the next 250,000 visitors.”
