Culkin's Emigration Museum

Culkin's Emigration Museum Approx. Time: 2 hours
Activity Level: Easiest


Culkin's Emigration Museum relives a poignant era when emigration was the only hope for a better life and when families were scattered all over the world. The museum stands on a site which used to be the gateway to new worlds in the form of Daniel Culkin's Shipping and Emigration Agency, which operated from the nineteenth century right up to the 1930's.

The museum brings back to life this landmark, in a purpose built modern museum, with a host of fascinating artefacts and features, such as the original shop it self, now restored and housed within the building.
