We went on the Ulysses tour with Josh. Super informative and interesting especially after having read the book several times. I was surprised how Joyce described particular spots and places in the city so close together. You don’t get that spatial aspect through the words by themselves.
One of my favourite place, the piano was open and we could play ! On the second floor, there was a old phone and we took pics with it !!
Highly recommend the Saturday guided walk. Shout out to Josh, who is both knowledgeable and eloquent as well as being open to all manner of questions from those less immersed in the material. The tour covers not just Joyce and Ulysses but also a good deal of Irish / Dublin history.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
The centre is situated in a restored 18th-century Georgian townhouse at 35 North Great George's Street, Dublin, dating from a time when north inner city Dublin was at the height of its grandeur. It was previously owned by the Earl of Kenmare, and a Denis Maginni, who was featured in Ulysses. On permanent exhibit is furniture from Paul Leon's apartment in Paris, where Joyce wrote much of Finnegans Wake, and the door to the home of Leopold Bloom and his wife, Molly, number 7 Eccles Street, one of the more famous addresses in literature, which had been rescued from demolition by John Ryan.
I love going to local author museums when I travel to new places, and this one is one of my new favorites. I loved that it melded the life of James Joyce with pieces of art that carried his legacy on. In truth, Ulysses was not my favorite when I read it in college, but I’ve always loved the earnest nature of Dubliners. I found myself wanting to actually finish Ulysses, and to read Dubliners once again to immerse in the art and history of the museum. Such a special place, and definitely one of our favorite stops in Dublin!
The exhibition was a bit bare, there is some information and an exhibition that takes you through Ulysses, but everything felt a bit lacking and souless. Possibly better to go there for an event or something.
Interesting place to kill 30-40 minutes. More of an arts/cultural space than a Joyce museum but had some interesting displays on Joyce nonethelessVisited onWeekendWait timeNo wait
Been on the most wonderful walking tour with Josh, who brought the book to live with great detail and passion.
Overview of James Joyce timeline. Three presentations. Very interesting. Spent about 45 minutes, 5€
Organises good events. As a visitor attraction in itself it is ok.
