MoLI – Museum of Literature Ireland on Postcard

"Museum of Literature Ireland Wander through the historic rooms of Newman House on Dublin's St. Stephen's Green to explore the art of Irish literature through a series of thoughtful exhibitions in the Museum of Literature Ireland, or MoLI. The first gallery covers the founding of University College Dublin in 1854, and then leads on to an exhibit with quotes from the Irish writers. Much of the MoLI is dedicated to James Joyce, with a model of Joyce's Dublin and the first-ever copy of Ulysses on display in a glass case. Different galleries display old fashioned desks and typewriters as well as interactive digital and audio displays, reading areas, and a film. A writers' room is furnished with tables, paper, and pen, as well as advice from Irish writers, so you can start your own piece. Make sure to browse the bookshop on the way out for all types of literary-themed gifts including notebooks and jewelry, and grab a coffee on the terrace of the Commons cafe."

The Best Things to Do in Dublin

It is an interesting place to visit and learn more about the building itself as well as Irish authors. I especially liked the top floor where there’s space to write a few words by yourself and read what others have written. As it was evening we didn’t get a chance to enjoy the garden but it seems like a beautiful place.

Very biased as an English teacher, but this museum is incredibly interesting. €12 for a student ticket seemed steep, but once we were finished with our visit it was agreed that we’d be happy to pay that again if not more. Many interactive parts are located throughout the experience. Marie was especially helpful and friendly during our visit. Gardens were gorgeous also. Café was nice but definitely steep.

I attended the Museum of Literature (MoLI) on their First Fridays for the first time and so please about it. Their exhibits are so immersive and it captures me. They have garden and cafe where you can enjoy the atmosphere. I just found out that the author of Dracula story is an Irish, name Bram Stoker (Gothic horror tale Dracula 1897), amazing. I want to come again here to enjoy more the beauty of history's literature of Ireland. There are parking space around the street after 7:00pm free.

This is a small museum with rare prints of books written by Irish authors ie. Bram Stroker, George Bernard Shaw, etc. When I visited they had a James Joyce exhibition with a timeline of his life, the locations in his books set in Dublin, etc. I think this museum could be more interesting since books are practically limitless and you could pick out lots of topics to do an exhibition with. Recommended for bookworms.

Incredible experience. A member of the staff kindly recommended which of Joyce’s works I should start with. Very interesting exhibition with incredible editions of various books.

This museum is a must go for literature lovers ! I enjoyed every part of it : you could think a museum about literature is boring but it is absolutely not ! What a great experience ! I especially loved the reading out loud poems, the James Joyce exhibition and the part where you can express yourself after seeing so many examples of great Irish literature ! And also, the staff is lovely and is making sure you're enjoying your visit. Thank you MoLI, I will definitely come back !

There was so much history and so much to read. The coolest part was listening to various authors and what they do when it comes to writing or when they have a writers block. You had an opportunity to write what you want and put it up on the wall next to the station. We spent several hours here and with the downstairs cafe, you could easily spend all day. Everything was immensely detailed. The staff was very nice and the experience was wonderful overall.

If you're fond of literature, this place will give you pleasure as books do. A quiet place with a beautiful garden and a café (unfortunately, we came too late to get a coffee there).
