James Joyce Centre

The James Joyce Centre, established by Irish senator, former presidential candidate, and eminent Joycean scholar David Norris, is located about eight minute's walk from the GPO in a lovely Georgian home. Although James Joyce never resided on the grounds of the museum, which is devoted to all things Joycean, he had a link to it because of Prof. Denis J. Maginni, a real-life figure who conducted a dance school there and was mentioned in the novel Ulysses. Following a David Norris-led campaign, the 1980s-era structure that had been condemned was ultimately rescued and rebuilt.

The Dublin Writers Museum is a must-visit if you want to understand more about Dublin's rich literary history. This intriguing museum, housed in a charming 1700s residence in Parnell Square, provides a fascinating look into the lives of some notable Irish authors as well as their most significant writings. The museum displays a collection of paintings and portraits in addition to other antiques and mementos.
