National Museum Of Emigration
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF EMIGRATION
new places, our people …
The people who have left Ireland on a permanent basis over the last three centuries have had a profound impact on the history, culture, economy and development of their adopted homelands. In telling their wide ranging story, we will build on foundations already in place at the Ulster American Folk Park, using a variety of methods, including interaction.
… settling in the world
We will develop a specialist collection devoted to emigration and settlement to support this. The story will be relevant to the National Curriculum and to the vast international audience that takes such pride in its Irish roots. Through partnerships including those with the Scotch-Irish Trust and the Centre for Migration Studies it will also appeal to a specialist audience with an interest in genealogy.
