"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."

It is a nice and very interesting little museum. We booked a guided tour. Our guide was excellent, professional and humorous. In addition, when the weather is nice you can walk through their lovely garden. The museum has a little shop with books and souvenirs made by local artist and little café with excellent dishes. This museum is worth stopping by if you like literature.

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!

We had our wedding here and the team was absolutely the best team we could have asked for. They were so personable and professional. Their wedding planners, Fadumo and Rachel, I cannot say enough nice things about them. Rachel was there on the day of and she was so fun, kind, and caring with everything she did. Every detail was thought out perfectly. We really trusted them a lot and our faith was put in the right people. The venue itself is beautiful and worked so well for our intimate wedding. The beautiful up-keeping did not go unnoticed! We got married in this large, well designed room and had our cocktail hour across the way was the PERFECT space. The food was stunning (and mouthwatering)! Do yourself a favor and if you’re thinking about booking this space for your wedding and DO IT!

A well-curated museum with interactive elements and various ways of connecting with the exhibits, allowing for a rich experience for people with differing learning styles. From traditional exhibits, to the mini theatres, to activities that allow you to directly engage with literature from early writings to 20th century classics to modern romances. This museum is a must if you are interested in Irish literature, and I could see this as one of the more interesting museums focused on the subject in Dublin to take children to.

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.

I loved this museum! Not crowded and just perfect to actually get lost in literature! I even wrote something on the poems wall they had in one of the rooms. Very interesting learning about the Irish authors and the history behind certain books and novels
