Housed in the vaulted, cast-iron-columned CHQ Building — a bonded warehouse built in 1820 to store tobacco, wine and tea beside the Custom House Docks — EPIC uses 20 interactive digital galleries to trace how Irish emigration shaped world history, from famine-era coffin ships to the diaspora's later influence on politics, music and science abroad.
