The Irish Famine exhibition takes you on a journey through a significant period in history. As you explore the various rooms, each filled with informative storyboards, you'll need approximately an hour to fully appreciate the depth of the narrative presented.

An integral part of the exhibition is a short documentary film, which provides further insight into this poignant era. You'll also have the opportunity to peruse original historical documents, including letters and newspaper articles, adding a tangible connection to the past.

One of the standout exhibits is an authentic cast-iron famine soup pot from Donegal, a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced during the famine. The exhibition is further enhanced by an impressive collection of 19th-century photographs, bringing the story vividly to life. For those wishing to delve deeper, a comprehensive guidebook designed for international travellers is available for purchase.
