Great exhibition – well structured, clear info, and easy to enjoy without any prior knowledge. Definitely worth a visit!

I wanted to learn as much as possible about this time in Irish history and this exhibit was very helpful. I had visited the museum near Cork several years ago and wanted more information and found this exhibit in Dublin. In addition, the curator of the exhibit was very patient with me and was able to answer so many more questions I had about Irish Emigration to America and timelines of indentured service. I was so curious about the misinformation that is prevalent in far right groups in the US about Irish “Slavery” in the US. I was able to gain insight on this topic as well. I went on a Monday afternoon and it was not crowded. You walk around the exhibit and take your time reading the professional posters. There is also a short film to watch in a small room with seating provided. I hope this exhibition will gain the funding and support to be a permanent exhibit somewhere in Dublin. Well done!
