LIMERICK-born novelist Kate O’Brien and TV and radio presenter Terry Wogan have been selected to feature in ‘Epic Ireland’, Ireland’s only state-of-the-art digital museum dedicated to the Irish diaspora.
Described by Trip Advisor as a “must-see visitor experience”, the Dublin exhibition also features County Limerick woman Margaretta Alexandra Eager, who served as a nanny to the four daughters of Emperor and Empress Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia from 1898 to 1904.
Re-imagining the museum experience, Epic Ireland brings together real-life accounts of some of the most remarkable tales of Irish men and women’s sacrifice, endurance, adventure and discovery the world has ever known through state-of-the-art high-tech installations to create an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Speaking about Epic Ireland, museum director, Fiona Ross said: “The inclusion of these extraordinary men and women from County Limerick, and many others, is testament to the fact that every single family, across every county in Ireland, has been touched by emigration.”
“For the first time, Epic Ireland tells the stories of these ordinary people who travelled extraordinary journeys to change their destiny and the destiny of others,” she added.
