Experience Irish literature through voice, sound and story at MoLI - Museum of Literature Ireland. Manuscripts and immersive installations bring Ireland's writers vividly to life, creating moments where their world meets yours.

No visit to Ireland is complete without encountering the writers who shaped it. Located minutes from Grafton Street and set within the historic UCD Newman House, MoLI creates moments of connection between writers and readers that will stay with you long after your visit.

MoLI is not a traditional museum where literature sits behind glass. Visitors don't simply learn about writers, they encounter them. The worlds and words of Irish writers come alive in experiences that are personal, atmospheric and unforgettable.

Experience an essential Dublin Literary experience by seeing Copy No. 1 of Ulysses inscribed by James Joyce. Relax in the tranquil Readers' Garden, enjoy coffee at The Commons Café and browse the MoLI bookshop.
