“This museum was unlike any other I’ve been to, in a positive way. It’s a multimedia venue but was unlike anything else as it revolves around storytelling.”

I absolutely loved the story teller and learned so much about the Irish Folkstories!! The thought they put in the arrangement really paid off. Feels like stepping into a different world.
