Opened in 1991, the Dublin Writers Museum celebrates the world-renowned literary heritage of the city. Using letters, books and artefacts, the museum acts as a lasting testimony to Dublin's literary influence.
Ireland can be justifiably proud of its literary history. In the 20th century alone, W B Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Samuel Beckett and Seamus Heaney were all awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Housed in an impressive 18th-century mansion, this collection covers Irish literature over the past 300 years.
