5. Dublin Writers Museum

It’s no surprise that Dublin is a city with such strong literary history and heritage. You only need to name some of the most influential writers of our time such as Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, W.B. Yeats and Samuel Beckett to understand the huge legacy they have left to the city. Step inside this beautiful Georgian museum to uncover the stories behind some of the countries Nobel Prize winners and heroes. See personal letters, artefacts, historic and priceless objects and learn about the history of Dublin and Ireland between 1700s-end of the 19th century and the profound impact it had on writers during that time. Visit the Gorham Library containing rare copies and first editions of some of the most important works and pop your head around the corner into the Gallery of Writers to see sculptures, paintings and busts of these famous literary legends.
