We went on the Ulysses tour with Josh. Super informative and interesting especially after having read the book several times. I was surprised how Joyce described particular spots and places in the city so close together. You don’t get that spatial aspect through the words by themselves.

Overview of James Joyce timeline. Three presentations. Very interesting. Spent about 45 minutes, 5€🙂

I bought a ticket for Leopold Bloom's footsteps Walktour (The walk tours are only on Fridays and includes the entrance to the centre). The tour through the city was very fun and the guide, Leslie, was amazing, on every step he read and sometimes acted some lines from Ulysses. Take in consideration that the tour lasts more than 2 hours, and finishes on the national library of Ireland.

I came here and went through a few floors dedicated to Joyce including many historic and contemporary exhibits. Much of the exhibits are focused around Uylesses in particular and if you haven't read it then you can't appreciate the museum well. I went through everything in about an hour.

One of my favourite place, the piano was open and we could play ! On the second floor, there was a old phone and we took pics with it !!

Tried to visit the centre with my husband who uses a mobility scooter having read on the official website that the first floor is wheelchair accessible only to find that there were 3 steps up into the building. Very disappointed.

The centre is situated in a restored 18th-century Georgian townhouse at 35 North Great George's Street, Dublin, dating from a time when north inner city Dublin was at the height of its grandeur. It was previously owned by the Earl of Kenmare, and a Denis Maginni, who was featured in Ulysses. On permanent exhibit is furniture from Paul Leon's apartment in Paris, where Joyce wrote much of Finnegans Wake, and the door to the home of Leopold Bloom and his wife, Molly, number 7 Eccles Street, one of the more famous addresses in literature, which had been rescued from demolition by John Ryan.

Very friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to come back. A must-visit for anyone interested in James Joyce, 'Ulysses', or Dublin.

Had expected more info about all Joyce's works. It focuses too much on Ulysses instead, which is understandable but Joyce literature isn't just that. Exhibition, though, was worth the visit, with up to three audiovisual documentaries on different topics and the possibility of watching an Ulysess movie. Interactive resources throughout the museum will give you a deep insight into his life. Bear in mind it could take around two hours or more to get through all the contents. All in all I found it very interesting and will definitely come back in my next trip to Dublin.

Nice location in an historic house in central Dublin. Link to Joyce is somewhat tenuous as it was apparently owned by an acquaintance and he visited a few times. Some rooms had interesting exhibits and explanations of his works especially 'Ulysses'. Others were meeting/lecture rooms. I enjoyed it but this is probably one for Joyce diehards.

So nice to return there after Bloomsday 2018. This time, we did the 2-hour ‘Introducing Joyce’s Dublin’ walking tour. We loved it and the tour guide was awesome: really nice and knowledgeable about Joyce. Recommended!

Ended the day there on blooms day this June. Good venue for an overview.

Best hotel in Temple bar Dublin

The exhibition was a bit bare, there is some information and an exhibition that takes you through Ulysses, but everything felt a bit lacking and souless. Possibly better to go there for an event or something.

It's all about the filmstrips. The exhibits are not that extensive or informative. The interactive computer stations are hard to use and only one person can use them at a time. But take the time to view both films, and the museum is well worth the admission no matter much you have read of Joyce.

(Translated by Google) It was an excellent experience to have visited this house very well set. It shows the life of James Joyce and his works (Original) Fue una excelente experiencia el haber visitado esta casa muy bien ambientada. Muestra la vida de James Joyce y sus obras

Beautiful building. Detailed history of some of his works. Stopped short of overloading visitors with information. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff.

It was very knowledgeable and James Joyce seemed like a good man.

(Translated by Google) The house is in good condition, pretty and has objects from the life of the famous writer. The room is really suggestive, with books and furniture of the past. (Original) La casa è in buone condizioni, carina e riporta oggetti della vita del famoso scrittore. La stanza è davvero suggestiva, con libri e arredamento di un tempo.

For lovers of literature it is too small

Interesting

It's a great place to visit. Apart from the wonderful exhibitions and the explanation of the chapters in Ulysses which i very much needed 😄 the building itself is glorious. Its a hidden gem 🙋‍♀️💚

(Translated by Google) It is the height of the scam. The museum is closed and they still charged us online for entry. They should be honest and not charge for services that are no longer available. We paid for two tickets and we were at two in the afternoon for the tour and we were met with the unpleasant surprise that it is closed. Terrible. And there is no such thing as getting a refund of the tickets. (Original) Es el colmo de la estafa . El museo está cerrado y aún así nos cobraron en línea la entrada. Deberían ser honestos y no cobrar por servicios que ya no están disponibles. Pagamos dos entradas y estuvimos a las dos de la tarde para el tour y nos encontramos con la desagradable sorpresa ue está cerrado. Terrible . Y lo que sí no hay como es obtener un reembolso de las entradas.

(Translated by Google) Visited years ago, I hope it has improved a lot in the meantime because at the time I found it excessively lacking in content. I went there as a fan of Ulysses, accompanied by people who did not know the author, and I found with regret that there was not enough information in the museum to make the "uninitiated" understand anything about Joyce's works. All in all it is not worth a visit. (Original) Visitato anni fa, spero sia molto migliorato nel frattempo perché all'epoca l'ho trovato eccessivamente scarno di contenuti. Mi ci sono recato in quanto fan dell'Ulysses, accompagnato da persone che non conoscevano l'autore, e ho constatato con rammarico che non c'erano nel museo informazioni sufficienti a far capire ai "profani" alcunché riguardo le opere di Joyce. Tutto sommato non vale la pena di visitarlo.

Es ist zur Erinnerung an James Joyce errichtet worden. Besonders interessant sind diesbezüglich die untere und zweite Etage. Die erste dient Wechselausstellungen, die nur mittelbar mit Joyce zu tun haben.

Not worth it. Seamus Heaney and Yeats exhibits are much better and free.

Such an amazing space and just the friendliest staff!

Really cool and well-put together exhibition following James Joyce’s life and his experience with Ulysses. They focus on the women that made him who he is as well as his craft and his living situations throughout his life…excellent. I had a great time here!

Went on a Joyce Walk with Les who was fantastic. He was passionate about Joyce and passionate about the city of Dublin. It was exciting to see some of the real life places described in Joyce's works along with some of the local history that influenced him.

Nice exhibition on two floors, including audio guide. Takes about an hour. Good intro to James Joyce.

Nice experience during the James joyce festival, the museum had a small patio outside that will allow to take a break after your visit. You can find a reconstitution of James Joyce room upstairs and his death mask

This is an Outstanding visit for those who love Joyce, particularly for those who love Ulysses. It is authentic, well done, informative and the staff are outstanding. If you fit the criteria, you MUST spend time here. Many, if not most, people have not read Ulysses and do not know Joyce or appreciate him If you fall in this group, you may not enjoy your visit, and you probably will not appreciate the Joyce Center as much as you might. But learn to read Joyce, start with some of his easier works, then Ulysses.

Very cool place

This Victorian building, restored ,as much as possible in the manner of it's time, is now the functioning heart of James Joyce culture in Dublin. Restored by a group led by the late Ken Monaghan, a nephew of Joyce, the Centre hosts cultural and literary events around the great writer and his works. These include walks around areas relevant to Joyce's novel Ulysses, talks and lectures

Been on the most wonderful walking tour with Josh, who brought the book to live with great detail and passion.

Interesting place to kill 30-40 minutes. More of an arts/cultural space than a Joyce museum but had some interesting displays on Joyce nonetheless

I love going to local author museums when I travel to new places, and this one is one of my new favorites. I loved that it melded the life of James Joyce with pieces of art that carried his legacy on. In truth, Ulysses was not my favorite when I read it in college, but I’ve always loved the earnest nature of Dubliners. I found myself wanting to actually finish Ulysses, and to read Dubliners once again to immerse in the art and history of the museum. Such a special place, and definitely one of our favorite stops in Dublin!

(Translated by Google) Loved it (Original) Amei

Highly recommend the Saturday guided walk. Shout out to Josh, who is both knowledgeable and eloquent as well as being open to all manner of questions from those less immersed in the material. The tour covers not just Joyce and Ulysses but also a good deal of Irish / Dublin history.

My wife and I took Joyce's Dublin tour. I studied literature and specialized in modernist literature, so I was very fascinated. Both of us absolutely loved it and found Dr. Josh Newman, our guide, to be very knowledgeable and engaging. Whether you just want to learn more about Dublin or are also into Joyce's literary career, this is a tour you won't want to miss!

Beautiful building and details inside. Reception staff on the other hand did not seem very friendly when we arrived and there was little to no communication towards us when we arrived other than checking into booking. He just asked if we were okay and I explained we had a booking and that it was our first time there. He looked at the confirmation and told us to just go ahead. Other than that we were not given any kind of information in regards to the museum

Sehr gediegenes gepflegtes Museum mit inspirierender Atmosphäre. Bloomsday-Veranstaltungen.

Great place about James Joyce and his world. The house and the pieces of art are really beautiful. Thanks for the bookmark! :) the French family

We're Italians in holiday in Ireland,we wanted tò visit this Museum and the two people that gave US the tickets were very nice, there Is even a souvenir market at the end. It was a very good experience

Grreat way to know Joyce better

Interesting documentaries, but besides that the museum is rather empty.

Interesting exhibitions for James Joyce enthusiasts. Very Ulysses focused.

I went for a special event. A talk with the editor of "Joyce and the law" the place it's lovely. Have not taken their tour as if yet.

Sorry to say it, but it was disappointing. I hope that they are able to develop this museum further.

Can't avoid.... James Joyce a literary giant has this small quaint testimony to his life.

Seemed thin on the ground regarding material and after the Dublin Writers Museum I wasn’t game to burn any more euros! They should amalgamate...

(Translated by Google) Can't see because of covid 19 (Original) No se puede ver por el covid 19

Great place..must go.. his school is nearby as well

(Translated by Google) When I arrived in this small museum I was the only visitor, but I must say that the visit is well structured, even if in some aspects it seemed sparse. The audio guide was certainly very useful (free) and in case of need the staff was very kind to help. (Original) Quando sono arrivata in questo piccolo museo ero l'unica visitatrice, ma devo dire che la visita è ben strutturata, anche se in certi aspetti mi è sembrata scarna. Sicuramente è stata molto utile l'audio guida (gratis) e in caso di bisogno il personale è stato molto gentile ad aiutare.

Great place to visit

Need some refurbish

he wasnt there, maybe next time

Very informative

not bad :)

A must-visit for Joyce readers...

Very interesting and nicely presented, you really feel like part of that

Really enjoyed the guided tour.

Full of info on Joyce. Be sure to take one of the walking tours.

Ok I don't get Ulysses, but still he is a great thinker.

(Translated by Google) Very good, but the net system, furniture, trading, net half of a small number of restaurants, such as a pancake shop or coffee shop, and so on. (Original) 很好但是，淨係得,傢私,買賣，淨係一半少量的餐廳，如，薄餅店或者咖啡店，等等。

Excellent James Joyce info, exhibits and documentaries, all in a gorgeous Georgian house!

Lovely place

(Translated by Google) Recommended (Original) Consigliato

Lots of relevant memorabilia.

A must for Joyce fans.

(Translated by Google) Exciting, informative. (Original) Spennende, informativt.

I liked my visit, the staff is friendly and the place is actually very interesting both the exhibitions but also the building itself. Probably about 30-45 min for an average visit

(Translated by Google) I was not able to find It (Original) Non sono riuscito a trovarlo

If you enjoy Irish literature and history, I highly recommend visiting. A fascinating walk back in time.

Make sure to see the original door of 7 Eccles St. on the ground floor at the back.
