Begin your visit to MoLI with an introductory film which serves as a celebration of why we read, write and tell stories.
Projected across the pages of a giant open book, this short film brings together the voices of readers and writers reflecting on what reading means to them. From finding calm and connection to seeing the world, and ourselves, differently.
“When I read a really good book, I feel like the world is more present to me.”
“You can find yourself anywhere, and that’s the power of literature.”
“I feel when I open a book, it’s a bit like just before I board a plane going to a new country.”
These voices introduce MoLI as the home of Irish writing and the place to experience where Irish writing comes alive.
The Stories We Tell is your starting point in the museum and an invitation to encounter the words and worlds of Irish writers across the three floors of exhibitions, gardens, Café and bookshop.
