Very moved - I'm very moved. Since I'm writing a book about my family history, I knew a lot. Nevertheless, reading the descriptions, seeing the illustrations and watching the film was very revealing. A visit I can recommend

Perfect - I really liked Ottoman Empire (Turkish Origin) supports for Great Famine and Sultan Abdul Mecid’s letter. Turks were the greatest supporters of Ireland at the Great Femine era.

FAMINE EXHIBIT NEEDS TK BE SEEN BY ALL TOURISTS TO IRELAND - I found thus to be a very personal and meaningful experience, learning more about the gGreat Hunger that my Irish ancestors experienced during the Great Famine. I will definitely recommend it!

Irish Famime - A very well laid out and informative exhibition. A beautiful building. A real eye opener. Shame on the British government of the time.

This excellent exhibition should be rendered into a permanent museum - This is an excellent exhibition about an important but extremely sad part of Irish history. The pictures, drawings, newsletter parts, text as well as a 15 min video are so well done and the tragedy touching thousands of lives made a deep impression on my husband and myself. Shocking and upsetting at the same time but important for people around the world to see. It would be of high importance to render this exhibition into a permanent museum.

Worth the visit - to become more aware!! - Important to remember how the Irish people were abused during the Great Hunger. Hope the exhibit finds a permanent home!

A page of fundamental history too forgotten. - Great exhibition at Stephen's Green Shopping Mall! Interesting discussion with the exhibitor who is also the receptionist. He explained that he worked entirely alone on this project which for him is a duty of memory. This famine affected his family. But as the exhibition went on, I realized that the world was also impacted. 14 euros is not given, but it is a self-financed work of great documentary quality, you will not regret it.

Heartbreaking to see the reality of the Irish famine victims - This exhibit is heartbreaking to see, but worthwhile. It's horrible to realise how terribly the Irish were treated by the English aristocrats and the English government, who literally starved them off their land and took it.
As an American of Irish descent, it brought tears to my eyes to see pictures documenting what my father had told me years ago. The English aristocrats owned the Irish land and were absentee owners, while the Irish slaved away to grow the crops to give the English lords their wealth. The food which was grown and available in Ireland during the famine years, was exported and sent back to England while the poor Irish were left to starve. Despite warnings about how dire the failure of the Irish potato crop would be, the English government failed to intervene and send adequate relief to the Irish.
To see this exhibit is to understand the tragedy of the famine and why it should not have happened. Yet, this type of inhumanity is repeating around the word today as some of the world's most vulnerable people continue to go without adequate food or aid. I hope people will see this exhibit and work to prevent this type of cruelty from happening again to another people.
