The Custom House Quay

The CHQ Building is Dublin’s newest large attraction, which opened in May 2016.  It tells the story of ’10 million journeys’ as described in the newspaper review below.  This will enhance the appeal of Dublin for millions of people throughout the world who can trace their family histories back to Ireland.

A €15 million addition to the CHQ Building is Dublin's biggest new tourist attraction since the Guinness Storehouse. Priced at €16/€8, EPIC Ireland is described as an interactive visitor experience celebrating the global journeys and importance of Irish migration.

Opening to the public on May 7 after an official launch by Mary Robinson, the attraction is set in the brick vaults of CHQ on Custom House Quay. It is entirely privately funded, developed at a cost of €15 million. On a preview tour, my experience was of a bold series of 20 galleries fitted with at times breathtakingly technology-driven displays.

Designed by Event Communications, the award-winning designers of Titanic Belfast, EPIC Ireland aspires to tell the story of "10 million journeys", with galleries organised into themes of migration, motivation, influence and connection.

Also, tickets for the attraction are available on Trip Advisor and there are lots of good reviews. This will also enhance the appeal of Dublin and encourage more people to visit.
