3 Make your next event truly EPIC Whether you re planning a team event, entertaining clients, launching a new product or hosting a cultural programme, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, is the ideal venue. Hear the stories of Ireland s emigrants as they ve never been told before Throughout the centuries over 10 million people left Ireland at EPIC you ll find out why they left, where they went and how they influenced the world they found. Through 20 interactive themed galleries, step back in time and see history s biggest events through the eyes of the people who lived through them. Ireland s only fully interactive museum EPIC is a truly interactive and immersive experience, featuring the captivating stories of over 300 emigrants who travelled all over the world, from America to Antarctica. A spectacular venue, steeped in history Centrally located in the beautifully restored vaults of the listed CHQ building in Dublin s Docklands, EPIC provides a stunning backdrop for your event. It overlooks the River Liffey, where merchants once unloaded their cargo and from where so many Irish emigrants embarked on their journeys to a new life. EPIC is the perfect place to enjoy valuable oneto-one time with your guests. From Irish dancing and music to Irish art and design and our sporting achievements to our St. Patrick s Day celebrations, the Irish have made their mark on the world. EPIC is a unique celebration of Irish tradition and culture. Our Foreign Minister was very impressed with EPIC, its design and the story it told. All the connections with Australia gave it a real relevance. The fabulous researchers were even able to find part of her family history, which added a real personal touch. Simon Mamouney, First Secretary and Deputy Head of Mission, The Australian Embassy.

4 Inspirational Ideas All of our events include a tailored guided tour. Intrigue international visitors with Irish links to their country, impress entrepreneurs with stories of Irish business leaders, wow the technology industry with Ireland s most high-tech digital museum, engage medical groups with stories of Irish medical pioneers, and inspire creatives with our rich cultural history. With so many paths to follow, no two tours are the same. I can guarantee that we will be recommending a visit to your worldclass facilities by staff at the Embassy and visiting delegations. Peter Glennon, Political Specialist U.S. Embassy Dublin
