The Museum of Literature Ireland (Irish: Músaem Litríochta na hÉireann), branded MoLI in an homage to Molly Bloom,[2] is a literary museum in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in September 2019.[3] The museum is a partnership between the National Library of Ireland and University College Dublin (UCD). It is located in UCD's Newman House in St Stephen's Green.[4] It holds a permanent collection of James Joyce–related material, including his "Copy No. 1" of Ulysses,[5] and revolving exhibitions on other Irish literary figures. With a range of audio and immersive displays, it has been nominated for and won a number of awards for design and architecture.
