Concise overview of the Irish Famine - It is a small but well presented exhibition of the Irish famine. Although you can go into much more detail, I think this exhibition does a great job of providing a informative overview of a very disastrous time in Irish history. It’s worth it. Took about 45 minutes to complete.

The truth about the Irish Famine in black and white - The Irish famine and Emigration exhibition in Stephens Green Shopping Centre was very informative and outlined the history of the famine and the devastating effect it had on the population of the country at the time. The history of the famine is explained in a very clear and concise way.

Good exhibition, but without audio guide - Very informative exhibition. However, you have to know the English language, as the displays are in English. A multilingual audio guide is not available or at least was not offered. In between there is seating and a 15-minute film. Entrance fee per adult at the time of visit: 15 euros.
