Ireland's Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University was shut last year due to Covid-19 but it will not reopen following a unanimous vote of the university’s board of trustees."Quinnipiac is in active conversations with potential partners with the goal of placing the collection on display at an organisation that will increase access to national and international audiences about Ireland’s Great Hunger," according to a statement from the university.
In 2019, Quinnipiac said it was reassessing funding for the museum due to cost-cutting plans and gave the facility until June 2020 to become self-sufficient.
GENOCIDE
Not a famine.There was food in abundance for everyone except the Irish.Stop peddling the narrative,potatoes were the staple diet n without them the Irish would starve.The Irish weren't fussy eaters. It wasn't a personal choice,Oh!,no spuds,I'll just have water then. angortamór
Why not create our own famine museum..American-Irish also pride their Irish history and these museums
I smell a Republican getting rid of unwanted history
Ironic
Trust these artifacts will be saved and displayed somewhere in Ireland.
Time to bring everything home
Will they send the art back to ireland for preservation?
Their canteen was exceptional
What famine?
The state needs to secure as much of this as possible, don't let it be forgotten or lost
