Erected in 1997 and positioned opposite the Custom House on the banks of the Liffey, this powerful bronze sculpture commemorates the Irish Great Famine of the 19th century and the million lives lost. The skeletal figures form one of Dublin's most haunting monuments. What to see here are the deeply affecting bronze statues that serve as a solemn reminder of this tragic period in Irish history. Located along the riverside, the memorial is readily accessible and makes for a profoundly moving visit.
