History brought to Life
Excellent exhibition - with guide (Emmet) and recordings. Very well organised exhibition - give yourself enough time to read various historical notes. Obviously an amount of money spent on this place - shame it isnt better advertised / attended. Great value for money

Fascinating, information-packed tour
Surprisingly good. You need to take your time and listen to the various recordings and really be up for absorbing a lot of information, but it was fascinating. A piece of Irish history that I knew almost nothing about. They did a good job putting it into the broader context of Europe and the U.S. as well as making it come alive. Staff also extremely friendly and helpful.
