About Irish Famine Exhibition

Discover the Irish Famine Exhibition on the 2nd Floor of the Stephens Green Shopping Centre, conveniently located just across the street from the main entrance to Stephens Green Park. Only a 5-minute stroll from Trinity College, at the top of Grafton Street, this compelling exhibit is easy to find. Upon entering the shopping centre, look for the elevator about 25 yards on the right. Take it to the 2nd Floor, then turn left. If you're coming from the car park, the exhibition is situated at the opposite end of the centre. The goal of The Irish Famine Exhibition is to commemorate the 170th anniversary of the Great Famine year 1847 as well as all the victims of the Irish Potato Famine, which took at least one million lives and saw many more flee the country within just one decade. Guests will be able to see photographs of women and children inside a Dublin and Belfast Workhouse and learn more about Florence Burke, Hannah Rafferty and a Polish count who helped the poor in the West of Ireland before becoming a famous explorer in Australia. The exhibition also includes a 15-minute film complementing the exhibition display panels.
