The Famine Memorial stands on Custom House Quay, where a line of gaunt bronze figures appears to walk toward the river and the emigrant ships beyond it. Sculptor Rowan Gillespie made the group deliberately spare: bent bodies, bundles, hollow faces, and a dog following behind. It is one of Dublin's most affecting public artworks because it puts the Great Famine back into the physical city rather than leaving it as a chapter in a museum.
The memorial is free, open at all hours, and easy to combine with the Docklands, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, or a walk along the Liffey. Visit with a little time to pause. The setting matters: the modern glass offices around it make the figures look even more exposed.
