DoDublin Days Out & MoLI

Visit MoLI, along with five other great Dublin attractions with the DoDublin Days Out Ticket!

Ulysses

The museum is home to a number of fascinating literary treasures. These include handwritten notebooks that were used to write James Joyce's Ulysses as well as the very first edition of Ulysses itself, the famous “copy no.1” which was donated to the National Library by Harriet Shaw in 1952. Learn about Irish literature around the world along with the history of publishing in the Irish State. You’ll also find a temporary exhibition that will change regularly based on new developments in the literary field.

The Commons Café and Gardens

A trip to MoLI is not only educational – there are also botanical and culinary treats to enjoy. Visitors can soak up a unique and tranquil atmosphere in the landscaped gardens at the rear of the museum. A world away from the busy city in just a few hundred metres, the south-facing oasis in the heart of the city centre also connect to the secret walled park in Iveagh Gardens. Two protected trees are contained within the enclosure, one of which is the ash tree that James Joyce had his graduation photograph taken beneath.

You’ll also find a garden terrace where, weather permitting, you can enjoy breakfast or lunch in beautiful leafy surroundings. Food and refreshments are courtesy of The Commons, a café run by Domini and Peaches Kemp that is set in the original student dining halls of the building. Expect tasty seasonal Irish food with a nod to traditional dishes.
