Dublin Writers Museum

Situated in a magnificent eighteenth century mansion in the north city centre, the collection features the lives and works of Dublin's literary celebrities over the past three hundred years. Swift and Sheridan, Shaw and Wilde, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett are among those presented through their books, letters, portraits and personal items.



The splendidly restored Georgian house is a pleasure in itself with its sumptuous plaster work and decorative stained-glass windows. The museum holds exhibitions and readings and has a special room devoted to children's literature.

Tara's Palace is one of Ireland's largest doll houses and is located here, built entirely by Irish craftsmen, with furniture assembled for all over the world. The magnificent Gallery of Writers is an ideal setting for banquets and receptions, while our modern lecture rooms meet the demands of the conference planner.



Dublin is famous as a city of writers and literature, and the Dublin writers museum is an essential visit for anyone who wants to discover, explore or simple enjoy Dublin's immense literary heritage.
