On The Move: A Century of the Irish Passport

Brand-new exhibition at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum
EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum is pleased to present On the Move, a multimedia exhibition exploring the history of Ireland’s most travelled document.
Drawing on archival records and contributions from the public, the exhibition will feature tales of migration and diasporic connection, capturing some of the human stories behind the substantial recent increase in Irish passport applications.
What does the Irish passport tell us about Ireland’s relationship to the wider world? What roles has it played in times of war and social change? What does it mean to Irish people both at home and abroad?
Join us to learn how the Irish passport has evolved in the last century, from its introduction at the dawn of Irish independence to the high-security document that it is today.
