The Irish literary tradition is one of the most illustrious in the world, famous for four Nobel prize-winners and for many other writers of international renown. In 1991 the Dublin Writers Museum was opened to house a history and celebration of literary Dublin.
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.
Situated on Parnell Square five minutes walk from O'Connell Street.
