The Ireland's Great Hunger Museum in Hamden, Connecticut is located on the campus of Quinnipiac University and highlights the Famine, along with its impact, through artwork. The Famine is interpreted at the museum through visual means, letting artists explore the impact of the erosion of culture and language, the leeching that occured of the land, and the loss of life. These artists are both those who work today and those familiar with the Great Hunger. One-hour guided tours are offered on Wednesday and Saturday with no reservation needed. Ireland's Great Hunger Museum is open Wednesday through Sunday.
