Imagine – a museum with no artefacts! Kids are learning differently these days and EPIC is truly a museum for the digital age. Our exciting and engaging approach supported by the latest digital technology, makes it the perfect place for your school tour.
The museum has 20 interactive galleries and explores global Irish history and identity from many different angles – whether your students are interested in politics, science, art and design, fashion, engineering or sport, they’ll all find something they love and can relate to.
With ties to the primary school curriculum, your students will learn something new and have loads of fun – all at the same time!
