A Special Experience - Very informative and easy to navigate. The audio tour is lovely, bring some earbuds. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of exhibits, each with their own special level of detail and depth. This place covers so much history and culture. Beautifully arranged and very interactive. You're able to leisurely roam and around every corner is something new to learn. Went above and beyond my expectations. Staff was welcoming and attentive. A must do if you are of Irish descent.

Museum to do absolutely - Great museum to do with download application in order to have its own audio guide. We are immersed in history with fun workshops. I really recommend this experience

Fascinating & Immersive! Highly Recommend! - The museum was mesmerizing! I didn’t really know what to expect from a “digital museum” but the experience was incredible- immersive, interactive, and well-researched. I liked the attention given to arts, culture, and community along with the historical context of Irish migration. Looking forward to learning to play the tin whistle I bought in the gift shop!

Expectations exceeded! - A wonderful interactive museum, brilliant ideas (passport with stamps) and very interesting. Average cost, but worth the whole ticket. Located in a quaint building in the Docklands, it is a real "experience", not to be missed.

Informative! - The museum was very informative. We learned a lot going through each section. They also let you stamp your “passport” in each room, which was a fun touch.

Really Nice Museum - Visited with my partner on a trip to Ireland and was really impressed, clearly the museum has undergone some recent refurbishment and a lot of money has been put into it, lots of technology and interactive points in each room, loved the little passports you could stamp in each area too - nice little souvenir.

The medium is the message - This museum definitely attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of the Irish diaspora. It offers many unique experiences in the 20 rooms as you visit key moments and people in Irish history. The rooms are flashy and visually stimulating. But you quickly realize the medium is the message in this museum. The over reliance on tech such as interactive touch screens and numerous large busy viewing screens is often overwhelming, detracting from the authenticity of the experience. The information is interesting and important. Just not convinced this is the best way to do justice to the Irish experience.

Targeted at younger children - I feel as though we were not the target audience for this museum. The stories and videos shown were fascinating and told about Ireland’s cultural influence worldwide, but it was very clearly aimed at children rather than adults, as it mostly consisted of interactive elements and you were given a ‘passport’ to stamp in each room. I’m sure families or schools would enjoy this much more than us.

Outrageous staff! - Unkindest staff ever! The receptionist was extremely disrespectful and made racist remarks towards young people. Absolutely unacceptable!
