Ireland's Great Hunger Museum, which is owned by Quinnipiac University, was closed last year due to Covid-19 but it was decided not to reopen the institution following a unanimous vote of the university’s board of trustees.
A coalition of Irish American groups has formed the 'Committee to Save Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum' and gathered in front of the museum yesterday in Hamden, Connecticut to voice opposition to the closure. The Attorney General of the US state of Connecticut has opened an inquiry into the closure of the museum after campaigners raised concerns that it may result in the sale or disbursement of the museum's collection, the property of a non-profit institution.
"The university is in active conversations with potential partners who are interested in displaying Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum’s collection; Quinnipiac is not selling any of the museum’s collection," a spokesperson said.
