Irish Famine Exhibition 2025

Tuesday, 1 April 2025 - Tuesday, 30 September 2025
About this event
The use of the word 'Famine' in this context is controversial, for Ireland at the time was part of the richest Empire in the World. There was sufficient food in the country throughout the 'Famine' years, yet over a million people died from starvation and disease, and millions more were forced to flee.
How could this have happened? This Exhibition tells the story of what happened during those horrific years including a documentary film, storyboards and original Famine artefacts.
