This exhibition will present some of the highlights of the collection of Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum. This remarkable collection investigates the Irish Famine of 1845-1852 and its impact through art, by some of the most eminent Irish and Irish-American artists of the past 170 years.

Information on the Museum Founder’s Ball, the Walsh Museum event, and the unveiling of Alfred Downing Fripp’s paintings, will be updated here as we get closer to these events.
