Excellent display od photos and videos highlighting Irish history, people, and those of Irish descent. Several short videos throughout bring tje experience to life. You get a passport when you buy your ticket and get it stamped at each of the 20 locations inside. They also have seats in the areas of the videos so you get a little sitting break. Also situated across from the museum is the Jennie Johnson a replica of the ship used during 1800s Irish immigration. Another poignant display near the .museum are the statues highlighting the famine that caused great emigration.
We spent the morning at EPIC. This museum features of wonderful exhibit that is self paced. It was fascinating to learn about the history of Irish Emigration. I loved the feature of stamping your passport along the way through each exhibit which you get to take home as a souvenir. I would definitely recommend listening along to the free audio guide that they offer. I would recommend a visit if you are in Dublin!
One of the best museums I visited. Take Your time and be sure to buy a ticket online. Option with Dublina Museum was good deal for 31 EUR. They have option to come back for free in next 10 days.

Wonderful museum in Irish Emigration. I would have loved to spend some time in the geneology research section to find out more of the family's Irish connection with O'Brien and McGrath sides of the family.
