Family Festival at the annual Albany St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
Founded in 1986, the Museum has created a number of original exhibits including The Irish
Influence in the Adirondacks, Dublin Then and Now, The Irish and the Erie Canal, Visions of
Ireland: The Artwork of Michael Augustine Power O’Malley, and most recently Walking with
Ireland into the Sun: Women Revolutionaries and the Easter Rising. These exhibits, amongst
others, travel the United States on a regular basis, and even exhibited at the National Library
in Dublin.
The goal of all these programs and exhibits is to create transformative moments. We want
kids and adults to be excited about learning and develop a passion for education that will
stay with them for the rest of their lives. We want people to become interested in their culture
and heritage and preserve it for future generations. It’s your heritage, pass it on!
So, is there such a thing as Irish cuisine?
Absolutely, but as mentioned before, it is constantly evolving, just like the Irish American
Heritage Museum.
