I really liked there history of sports section i got to learn about this one&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Irish sport called Hurling. Hurling is a blend of lacrosse and field hockey, played with a wooden&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>stick called a hurley and a small leather ball called a sliotar the main objective of the game is to&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>score by trying to hit the sliotar through or over the goalpost. When i saw footage of Hurling&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>games on TV my eyes would be glued to the screen, the way the players would just mercilessly&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>beat on each remind be of a Hockey games back in the us which kinda tells me even with the&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>differences i\u2019ve seen that Ireland has with the US they also have their similarities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What i also liked about there museum was how high tech the museum i really liked how you&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>could just tap on most of the screens and they would tell you about important events in history&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>for instants like the great hunger. One section of the museum even had a little guessing game&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>about famous criminals throughout history. I also like their Eipc Passport that they gave me to&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>stamp every time i enter a new exhibit something that ill keep with me as a reminder of the&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>museum&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My only wish was that i wanted to stay longer to see there titanic stuff but alas there is always&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the next time I come to Dublin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The time we spent at the Epic museum was a really fantastic for my first museum&nbsp; Experience in ireland.
