10 Best Museums in Dublin | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located on the grounds of Dublin Castle, the Chester Beatty Library is home to a large array of manuscripts and books from around the world. Between two atmospheric collections, you’ll find an assortment of treasured items dating as far back as 2700 BC. Manuscripts are divided into the Islamic Collection—considered one of the best outside the Middle East, with more than 260 Qur’ans dating back to the late 8th century—The East Asian Collection, and The Western Collection. Modern pieces are impressive, too; there’s a beautiful cover by Dante Gozzi of Modena in the bookbinding section." - Nicola Brady
