FoundationEPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is a privately owned museum, founded by Neville Isdell, former chairman and Chief Executive of The Coca-Cola Company, who was born in County Down and moved to Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) aged 10 in the 1950s.[1] EPIC was officially opened by Neville Isdell and former President of Ireland Mary Robinson on 6 May 2016.[2] The museum is located in the vaults of CHQ Building, a listed building originally known as Stack A, built in 1820 by John Rennie and completed by Thomas Telford and used as a bonded customs warehouse for tobacco and wine.[3] CHQ was sympathetically conserved and restored by the Dublin Docklands Development Authority in the early 2000s and now features a classic glass wall on its southern end based on a structural engineering design created by Peter Rice of Ove Arup/RFR.[4] GalleriesThe exhibition is made up of twenty galleries which are each individually themed, and fall under the headings of Migration (Galleries 1-2), Motivation (Galleries 4-7), Influence (Galleries 8-18) and Diaspora Today (Galleries 19-20).[5] MigrationA impressions of the island of Ireland, migration patterns from Ireland since 500AD. MotivationThemes include religious missionary work, the Irish famine, religious and social persecution, criminal transportation, and the effects of Irish involvement in foreign conflicts. Displays include a series of video testimonies from six Irish emigrants, who give their reasons for leaving the island and their hopes for the future.

InfluenceIncludes notable Irish immigrants in the world of business, sports, science and inventors, political leaders and thinkers, music, dance and entertainment, art and fashion, writing and storytelling, and eating and drinking. Other cultural influences featured include an interactive 'rogues gallery' of troublemakers with Irish heritage, and worldwide festivals and celebrations of Irish culture.
