The Taste the Atlantic – Irish Salmon Visitor Experience was launched in Lisdoonvarna, Co. Clare on the 25th of October 2019 by Mrs Sabina Higgins, wife of President Michael D Higgins.
The visitor centre is a fully interactive space where the story of Irish salmon is told, from its place in Irish mythology and history right up to the role salmon aquaculture plays in sustaining coastal communities in some of Ireland’s most remote rural locations.
The centre features both traditional artefacts and multimedia in a mixed reality setting and tells the story in an immersive and entertaining fashion.
