Discover where Irish writing comes alive at MoLI through voice, space, sound and story. Explore three floors of immersive exhibitions and encounter rare literary treasures, including James Joyce’s personal copy of Ulysses, known as ‘Copy No. 1’, alongside his notebooks and personal letters.
Dublin, a UNESCO City of Literature, is a city of words; and MoLI is the home of Irish writing. There’s no better way to understand a place than to see it through the eyes of its writers, past and present. Follow in the footsteps of some of Ireland's most celebrated literary figures, including James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, Maeve Binchy, Edna O’Brien, Samuel Beckett, W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker. Along the way, you'll discover how their lives and works continue to shape the Ireland of today.
