Part 6/10:
Our second day was devoted to understanding Ireland’s complex history at two significant museums: the GPO Museum and the Irish Emigration Museum. The GPO (General Post Office) is central to Dublin’s identity, particularly known for its role during the 1916 Easter Rising. The accompanying museum provides engaging insights into this pivotal event and its impact on Irish independence.
Conversely, the Irish Emigration Museum offers an introspective journey into Irish identity and migration. The themes of ancestry rang especially true as we noticed many American tourists tracing their lineage.
