Moving and powerful educational experience

I learned so much from this exhibit. I much appreciated the clearly presented posters about different aspects of the famine, with compelling photographs, maps, and other archival materials displayed in a visitor -friendly format. I feel that for the first time I understand the complex causes of the famine as well as its devastating human costs over so many years. Every visitor to Ireland should learn this history!

Excellent overall

It was very thorough and offered excellent explanations for all responses to blight and subsequent famine. More could be done to highlight the experiences of women who bore the brunt of family labor and large numbers of children.
