Quinnipiac University Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum to open this fall

Museum to house world’s largest collection of Irish Famine art

Christine Kinealy a world-renowned authority on the Irish Famine, will deliver the lecture, “Fifty Years of the Great Hunger: The Remarkable Legacy of Cecil Woodham-Smith,” at 7 pm on Thursday, 27th September, in the Grand Courtroom of the School of Law Center.

Lahey said, “The building, which houses our new museum, was purchased after the success of the New York show and dates from the late 19th century when it was originally used as Hamden’s first free public library. After some significant renovation, it’s perfect for its new use, and we very much look forward to presenting it to the world.”

The museum is located at 3011 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, CT, near the university’s Mount Carmel and York Hill campuses. The museum will be open to the public on 11th October.
