Open since September 21, 2019, this literary museum is the result of a collaboration between University College Dublin (UCD) and the National Library of Ireland. The aim: to exhibit literary archives and official manuscripts, to pay tribute to the great Irish writers, to offer exhibitions, writing workshops (for children and adults), public readings, discussion sessions around a work, debates, analyses, reviews… and so on.

A true Temple for literature lovers! A one-of-a-kind cultural, educational and entertainment venue. It’s Dublin’s biggest museum on the subject!

You’ll learn not only about the history of Irish literary artists, but also how this has impacted on their work. The perfect way to complete your book discovery!

The MoLI will also be exhibiting James Joyce’s long-awaited first manuscript of Ulysses, as well as his notebooks. These are rare and coveted objects, which the museum is determined to reveal to the general public.

The National Library’s literary collections are among the country’s greatest treasures, and we are committed to opening them up to the world. said Sandra Collins, Director of NLI.

There’s also a store and a coffee corner: ideal for extending your visit, taking a break, bringing back a souvenir, or even buying a book by one of its great authors!
