The Irish Cultural Center is sponsoring a bus trip to Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT. The museum contains the world’s largest collection of Great Hunger-related art by noted contemporary Irish and Irish American artists, as well as a number of period paintings by some of Ireland’s most important 19th-century artists. We will be stopping for lunch at the Playwright Irish Pub in Hamden, CT after the museum visit.

Cost is $45 for ICC members and $48 for non-members. The price is all-inclusive (bus, lunch, tax and gratuities). The bus will depart from Elms College at 9:30 am from the Sheila Ryan Flynn Parking Lot on the corner of Springfield Street and Fairview Avenue in Chicopee, MA (near the traffic lights). Bus will depart from the museum at 2:00 pm for lunch, and we will arrive back at Elms College between 5:00 and 6:00 pm.
