This is a unique, virtual tour of the famous, EPIC Irish Emigration museum in Dublin, Ireland.  As the world's first full interactive digital museum, this is an impressive stop on it's own. But, with 70 million people worldwide claiming Irish heritage it is also a beacon from a homeland with a rich tapestry of stories to share.  EPIC is the story if Irish emigration and what happened across the world as a result of the Irish influencers worldwide who have shaped our modern societies through chartiable causes, scientific advances, sports, politics, literature and art. 

The museum opened in  May 2016, starting around 350 on the list of things to do in Ireland.  By October 2017, it was listed #8 on TripAdvisors list, and  by Spring of 2018 it ranked #5.  And, if you visit, you will see why too.  While hopefully someday every person of Irish descent will have the opportunity to visit Ireland, as a placeholder we hope that you enjoy this unique opportunity to get a short audio tour from Rory Cummins of the EPIC Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin.
