10 Best Museums in Dublin | Condé Nast Traveler
"Open since 1991, this intimate museum, which is set in a gorgeous 18th-century mansion, pays tribute to Irish writers—the playwrights, poets, and authors who comprise Dublin's strong literary heritage. The museum is laid out chronologically, starting with the origins of the Irish storytelling tradition (and a facsimile of the Book of Kells) and progressing from there. Some notable items on display include an early edition of Gulliver’s Travels from 1804, programs from the openings of Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband from 1895, and Brendan Behan’s typewriter. A bookshop sells works by writers featured in the museum and modern-day Irish authors like Edna O’Brien and Colm Tóibín. Avid readers will nerd out over the options, and most certainly walk away with something in hand." - Nicola Brady
