How to visit the EPIC Museum?

  • Ways to explore: All tickets include self-guided entry to the EPIC Museum, a multilingual audio guide app, access to the current temporary exhibition, and a souvenir passport as a memento of your visit.
  • Combo tickets: Combo tickets take this a step further by pairing your visit with additional famous Dublin attractions, like the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Distillery, or a Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour.
  • Unique experiences: Immigration Hall (Passport & People) lets you collect a keepsake passport and stamp it at each gallery. The wall of emigrant names adds a personal touch, making the experience engaging for both kids and adults.
  • Queues & access: Timed entry helps manage flow, although expect short waits of 10–30 min at busy times.
  • When to book: Book at least 2 weeks in advance to secure preferred time slots, especially for weekends and summer months. For a smoother experience, visit on weekdays during off-peak seasons, with mornings and late afternoons typically offering quieter galleries.
  • Good to know: Most tickets include a free return visit within 10 days so that you can come back for a second visit.

Step into Ireland’s global story

Begin your visit at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, set inside Dublin’s historic CHQ Building. This fully digital museum spans multiple interactive galleries, offering an immersive take on Irish emigration that feels personal and unlike traditional museums.

Start your interactive journey

After entry, pick up your souvenir passport and begin a self-guided route through themed galleries. Explore touchscreens, projections, and audio that bring stories to life, letting you move at your own pace while building a deeper connection to Ireland’s past.

Explore galleries and stories

Move through highlights like the Great Famine Gallery, Journey Gallery, and Immigration Hall. Devote about 90 minutes to visuals, soundscapes, and personal narratives that unfold across rooms, tracing Ireland’s emigration and its global impact on art, culture, and music.

The passport experience

One of the most memorable moments is stamping your passport at each gallery. Stop by Immigration Hall to discover thousands of emigrant names that add a personal layer, making the experience interactive and engaging for both adults and children.

Wrap up and plan ahead

Finish at the Connections Room, where a digital station lets you search family names and explore genealogy resources. If you’ve chosen a combo ticket, extend your day with nearby experiences like the Guinness Storehouse, a Dublin distillery, or a hop-on hop-off tour for a broader city experience.

Things to know before booking your EPIC Museum tickets

  • Booking window: Tickets are typically available year-round and can be booked a few days in advance. However, weekends and summer slots fill faster, so booking 1–2 weeks ahead helps secure preferred entry times.
  • Entrances & flow: Entry is via the CHQ Building on Custom House Quay, where tickets are scanned at check-in. Timed entry helps manage flow, with typical waits of around 10–15 minutes on weekdays and up to 30 minutes during peak periods.
  • What’s included: Standard tickets include access to all interactive galleries, digital exhibits, and the current temporary exhibition, along with a multilingual audio guide app. Entry to the Irish Family History Centre is not included.
  • Ways to explore: All visits are self-guided, allowing you to move at your own pace through immersive, interactive displays. Most visitors spend about 90 minutes completing the full experience.
  • Add-ons & combos: Combo tickets bundle EPIC entry with attractions like the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Distillery, or a hop-on hop-off bus. These offer about 10% savings and help combine multiple Dublin highlights in one plan.
  • Policies: Tickets are issued for a selected time slot and are valid for single entry. Most standard tickets include a free return visit within 10 days, but re-entry on the same day is not guaranteed.

Visitor tips

  • Best starting point: Begin with the Great Famine Gallery or Immigration Hall early, as these areas get busier mid-morning.
  • Passport experience timing: Use the passport stamping stations early in your route to avoid queues forming in central galleries.
  • Quieter zones later: Visit the Irish Abroad galleries later in your journey when interactive screens are less crowded and easier to explore.
  • Efficient route planning: Follow the museum’s natural linear flow instead of backtracking, as EPIC is designed as a one-direction storytelling experience.
  • Peak flow awareness: Time-slot entry means certain galleries may feel busier shortly after opening and during midday peak periods.
