TY Trip to EPIC Museum and Book of Kells

• EPIC MUSEUM

On the 13th of December our TY group attended a trip to the EPIC Museum in Dublin city centre.

This museum highlights the Irish immigration and accomplishments of the people of Ireland. The TY’s were given a booklet which they had to stamp off in each room they entered. In this museum they experienced interactive activities that helped them understand what it was like to live in Ireland during this time of immigration. The museum had plenty of fascinating rooms. One such room was made to look like an airplane, it illustrated what it was like for Irish people to travel.

There was another exciting room that displayed a table that you could interact with and learn plenty of facts about all Irish history and sport.

Overall this trip was very inspiring and helped the TY students learn and appreciate the impact of Irish emigration.
