EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum

The Chq Building, Custom House Quay, North Wall, Dublin 1

Vaulted eighteen-twenties fireproof warehouse turned fully digital museum of Irish emigration.

This guide to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin starts underground, in vaults built in the early eighteen twenties to hold thousands of wine casks without a single piece of wood, because their designers were obsessed with fire. It traces the building from dockworkers' Tobacco Store to the quay where so many people boarded ships during the hunger and hardship of the eighteen forties and never returned. The building's modern owner, Neville Isdell, once ran Coca-Cola before returning home and buying the derelict warehouse in 2013.
