James Joyce Centre

James Joyce Centre

The James Joyce Centre is a museum dedicated to promoting an understanding of the life and works of James Joyce.

The Centre is situated in a restored 18th-century Georgian townhouse at 35 North Great George's Street Dublin, dating from a time when the north inner city of Dublin was at the height of its grandeur. On permanent exhibit is the door to number 7 Eccles Street — home to Leopold Bloom, one of the more famous addresses in literature — and furniture from Paul Leon's apartment in Paris where Joyce wrote much of "Finnegans Wake". Temporary exhibitions interpret and illuminate various aspects of Joyce's life and work.

There is another Joycean display at the James Joyce Tower in Sandycove.
