Museum of Literature Ireland

Discover where Irish writing comes alive at MoLI through voice, space, sound and story. Located in the city centre at 86 St. Stephen's Green, explore three floors of immersive exhibitions and encounter rare literary treasures, including James Joyce’s personal copy of Ulysses, known as ‘Copy No. 1’.

There’s no better way to understand a place than to see it through the eyes of its writers, past and present. Follow in the footsteps of some of Ireland's most celebrated literary figures, including James Joyce, Flann O'Brien, Maeve Binchy, Edna O'Brien, Samuel Beckett, W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde and Bram Stoker. Along the way, you'll discover how their lives and works continue to shape the Ireland of today. 

At MoLI we create moments of connection between writers and readers that stay with visitors long after their visits. No visit is complete without spending some time in our tranquil Readers Garden, beautiful BookShop, and the Commons Café.
