The Writers Museum in Dublin is the country's most important literature museum. It shows the richness of Irish literature, presents profiles of the authors and mementoes of them. The museum also has a café and a bookstore selling books by Irish writers and poets.
Ireland is often called the land of writers and poets. In 1991, a museum was established in Dublin to promote Irish literature. It is located in an 18th century house on Parnella Street. Its interiors have been kept in the style typical of that era.
The museum houses personal mementoes of famous Irish writers such as James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw and Samuel Beckett, among others. There are also old editions of books by Irish authors, manuscripts, lists of famous writers as well as their portraits and photos. The museum organizes literary evenings, and there are also themed walks around the museum and Dublin.
