James Joyce is undoubtedly one of Dublin’s greatest writers! That’s why the city pays tribute to him at every opportunity, with exhibitions, museums, bridges named in his honor and even sculptures!

See the James Joyce Statue

A statue paying tribute to the city’s greatest literary genius!

The James Joyce statue is located at 2 Earl St N. in Dublin city center. It’s easy to find, right in the heart of the pedestrian street. This is where passers-by and visitors like to take pictures of themselves next to the statue… From original poses to more classic attitudes, there’s no shortage of ideas for posing with James Joyce!

The statue is quite beautiful, with a contemporary look. It has to be said that the statue is as abstract as it is realistic: a fine balance that gives it a truly timeless appearance! In this way, the writer’s features seem to be modeled in clay, in sometimes abstract strokes. A truly brilliant artistic result!
