The new facility represents a €7.5 million investment by Kildare County Council and is the only institution of its kind anywhere in the world.
The Shackleton Experience, a world-first visitor centre dedicated entirely to the life and achievements of legendary polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton - who was born just outside Athy - will open today.
The new facility represents a €7.5 million investment by Kildare County Council and is the only institution of its kind anywhere in the world.
The Shackleton Experience sits at the heart of a wider regeneration plan that also includes the redevelopment of Emily Square, the Barrow Blueway, and the Athy Distributor Road.
