SUMMARY:VISIT TO: IRELAND'S GREAT FAMINE MUSEUM (Quinnipac University,
  CT)
DESCRIPTION:In September of this year, Ireland's Great Hunger Museum (
 An Gorta Mor) opened at Quinnipac University in CT. In the midst of re
 ading The Graves are Walking by John Kelly (a good read!) I'm now more
  than ever intrigued to make a visit.  Hope you will too!\nTHE GREAT 
 HUNGER MUSEUM\nThe Great Hunger Museum is home to the world’s larges
 t collection of visual art, artifacts and printed materials relating t
 o the starvation and forced emigration that occurred throughout Irelan
 d from 1845 to 1850. Works by noted contemporary Irish artists are fea
 tured, as well as a number of important 19th and 20th-century painting
 s. Begun in 1997, this dynamic collection continues to grow.\nITINERAR
 Y\nThe proposed itinerary for our visit will be:\n10am - pick up at me
 eting spot (TBD shortly but will be somewhere in midtown Manhattan eit
 her Penn or Grand Central)\n12pm - approximate arrival to the Museum.\
 n1pm/130pm - depart to the Arnold Bernhard Library to view documents r
 elated to the Great Famine and meet with the librarian.  We MAY even 
 be able to conduct some research but this will be confirmed.\n1:30pm -
  we can stop for a quick bite in the area OR if the group prefers we h
 ead back into the city and have a catch up on our visit.\n4pm (or ther
 eabouts) - arrival back into Manhattan\nFor more information please vi
 sit the museum's website: www.thegreathunger.org/museum\nCOSTS\nThe Mu
 seum does not charge admission, only asks for donations.  The cost fo
 r this trip is solely attributed to the return van/bus transport I wil
 l be securing.  It works out so far to $30 per person, based on a min
 imum of 14 in attendance.  Please note: while I am taking the charge 
 now as I will be committed to the booking as the date draws near, if i
 t is cancelled you will be fully refunded for the cost of the bus tran
 sport bar any fees that PayPal charges ($1.20).  Email me directly if
  you wish to make alternate payments to Paypal (as they do charge a fe
 e).\n\nFor more information visit https://thewildgeese.irish/events/vi
