Dublin Writers Museum

Those curious about Dublin's literary art will do well to spend some quality time among man's best friends-books! The writer's museum, housed in a Georgian mansion, is a treasure-hold of collections dating as far back as three hundred years. It's not just the works you will browse through, but books, letters, portraits and personal items of some very famous writers, like Oscar Wilde, Shaw, Joyce and Yeats to name a few. A visit to the Gallery of Writers is a must; the portraits and busts enhance this space, which is used for receptions and exhibitions. The experience is enhanced by temporary exhibitions and a lunchtime theatre. Top it off with a visit to the in-house bookshop and café.
