On The Move: A Century of the Irish Passport

Saturday, 10 May 2025 - Saturday, 1 November 2025
About this event
Drawing on archival records and contributions from the public, the callout of which is currently ongoing, the exhibition will feature tales of migration and diasporic connection, capturing some of the human stories behind the substantial recent increase in passport applications.
What does the Irish passport tell us about Ireland’s relationship to the wider world? What roles has it played in times of war and social change? What does it mean to Irish people both at home and abroad?
Join us to learn how the Irish passport has evolved in the last century, from its introduction at the dawn of Irish independence to the high-security document that it is today.
Entry into this exhibition is included in your EPIC general admission.
