The city of Dublin is famous for its writers as well as distinguished pieces of literature.  The museum has a bit of history weaving around it. Way back the Martello towers were built in Dublin to endure the incursion of Napoleon.The “Martello Tower” which was originally built for defense purposes is one among this series of towers and today functions as a James Joyce museum housing the writer’s works as well as important facets of his life history.

The tower which was made the setting in his magnum opus Ulysses was also given his name to honor the celebrity who made. If you are a fan of this author or rather if you love Ulysses you will be delighted to find that the living room as well as the gun platform (of course, with its picturesque views) are just much as he has described in his book. The collections here include among many other things, the writer’s photographs, letters and personal possessions.
