    The museum guide knew a lot about the subject and the historical context, making a pleasant and complete explanation. The building and its gardens are very beautiful, it also has a cafeteria-restaurant with a terrace in the gardens where you can have a drink.

Why Visit the Museum of Literature Ireland?

Located on Stephen's Green, the Museum of Literature Ireland was created through a partnership between University College Dublin and the National Library of Ireland.

The museum occupies two typical Georgian townhouses and the Victorian assembly hall of the former university, offering visitors a sweeping journey through the country's literary heritage. Also known as MoLI, the museum lets you connect directly with Ireland's writers through a series of immersive exhibitions.

Your ticket gives you access to everything from the storytelling traditions of the Middle Ages to the avant-garde tendencies of contemporary writers, explored through information panels, photographs, and multimedia elements. One of the most charming corners of the museum is the Reader's Garden, which offers unforgettable views of the Iveagh Gardens.

The museum also houses several treasures from the National Library of Ireland, including the first edition of Ulysses. Do you know why James Joyce's masterpiece holds such a special place in Irish hearts? You'll find out during your visit!

Opening Hours

The Museum of Literature Ireland is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. Final admission is at 4 pm.
