Atlantic Edge Exhibition
ATLANTIC EDGE is
the exciting interpretive centre at the Cliffs of Moher New
Visitor Experience. Housed at the centre of the underground
building a huge domed cave contains images, exhibits,
displays & experiences that will delight young and old
alike.
Visitors enter via a viewing ramp which provides access for
all to the main dome. You will walk on water as you enter
and follow the birds feet from there.
The dome is organised into four principal themed areas
exploring different elements of the mighty Cliffs of Moher: OCEAN, ROCK, NATURE and MAN.
A selection of interactive exhibits & displays shows aspects
of these themes and their connection with the Cliffs. An
aerial tour entitled THE
CLARE JOURNEY will
appear on a central screen.
The tour continues from the central dome via a winding
tunnel that evokes the many caves of the area to a theatre
housing a virtual reality cliff face adventure - THE
LEDGE.
A temporary exhibit of JP Hollands Boat 1 is on display in
Atlantic Edge until December 2008. JP Holland is the
inventor of the Submarine and hailed from Liscannor the
nearest village to the Cliffs of Moher. This is the first
ever model of the Submarine and is on loan from Patterson
Museum, New Jersey, USA.
Last entry to Atlantic Edge will be half an hour prior to
the closing of the visitor centre building.
