"Museum of Literature Ireland Wander through the historic rooms of Newman House on Dublin's St. Stephen's Green to explore the art of Irish literature through a series of thoughtful exhibitions in the Museum of Literature Ireland, or MoLI. The first gallery covers the founding of University College Dublin in 1854, and then leads on to an exhibit with quotes from the Irish writers. Much of the MoLI is dedicated to James Joyce, with a model of Joyce's Dublin and the first-ever copy of Ulysses on display in a glass case. Different galleries display old fashioned desks and typewriters as well as interactive digital and audio displays, reading areas, and a film. A writers' room is furnished with tables, paper, and pen, as well as advice from Irish writers, so you can start your own piece. Make sure to browse the bookshop on the way out for all types of literary-themed gifts including notebooks and jewelry, and grab a coffee on the terrace of the Commons cafe."

Such a beautiful place! If you like literature, visiting MoLI is certainly a must. I wish I had more time to visit, since I went an hour and a half before the closing time, so if you want to enjoy everything and take your time, I highly advice going much earlier. I always love getting to know about local literature everywhere I go and MoLI doesn't only pay homage to their greatest writers, but also to their new talents –that's a wonderful thing to see. The staff at the entrance was super kind, but I specially wanted to thank Tony for encouraging me to write something after a long time of not doing so. At the end of the day, it's nice to meet someone that seems to be doing what they love and deeply involved in a matter I'm sure we both love and care about, as literature is. Thank you everyone!

Interesting musuem. If you have a slight interest in Irish authors, a visit to this museum is worth a go. Price was a little steep, but the lack of a crowd help make the visit worth the price. The exhibit on James Joyce was informative. Learning about other Irish authors was eye-opening.

A lovely guy at the place where you buy the tickets (no need to buy in advance). The museum itself is nicely done in several floors. If you don't know many irish authors it may be maybe less interesting for you but its still a nice place to visit.

We had a wonderful experience at MoLI. We took the guided tour and it was amazing to hear someone passionate about literature in general, about James Joyce, and about Dublin share their perspective as they walked us through the exhibit. I would definitely suggest this as a stop for your visit to Dublin.

A great exhibition. Especially if you're interested in James Joyce, you will thoroughly enjoy it (as basically half of it is dedicated to him). My highlight was a large table covering a variety of placed in Dublin mentioned by Joyce. It really allows you to dive into his work and get fascinated by it.

What a wonderful, calm, set of exhibitions. I unfortunately didn't see the love letter of Oscar Wilde movie, but I was positively surprised at the Happily ever after Irish romance exhibition 😊

I visited many fabulous museums during my time in Dublin but MoLI was my favourite - so carefully and tactfully curated, giving a unique and immersive understanding of both the past and the present of Irish literature. Excellent gift shop, too, with a fantastic collection of works by Irish writers.
