Get more from your visit with a guided tour of MoLI. Led by one of our expert guides, this immersive experience brings Irish writing alive through fascinating stories, remarkable artefacts, and unique insights into Ireland's literary heritage. Explore the museum’s highlights, uncover hidden details you might otherwise miss, and gain a deeper understanding of the writers who have shaped the Irish identity.
Follow in the footsteps of some of Ireland’s most celebrated literary figures, including James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, Maeve Binchy, Colm Tóibín, Samuel Beckett, Edna O’Brien, W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker. Along the way, you'll discover how their lives and work still echo through Ireland today.
Tour highlights include the world-famous Copy No.1 of Ulysses, rare notebooks, letters, and manuscripts from Ireland's greatest writers. Weather permitting, the tour also extends into MoLI’s beautiful walled gardens, home to the ancient tree beneath which James Joyce was photographed on his college graduation day in 1902.
More than a museum visit, this guided experience offers a unique way to connect with Ireland. Literature has long been at the heart of Irish identity, reflecting the country’s history, character, humour, and imagination. What better way to get under the skin of a place than through the writers who have helped shape it?
