Highlights of the exhibition include an account of the perilous sea journey faced by Irish migrants to Europe, documented in Tadhg Ó Cianáin’s Narrative of the Journey into Exile of the Ulster Earls, 1607-08 and some of the earliest books in the Irish language ever printed.
In addition, visitors can use digital installations to explore each exhibition topic and to discover whether anyone of their name or from their own area served in the French and Spanish armies in the 18th century or studied at the Irish colleges in Paris, Leuven or Toulouse.
