First look inside the new Museum of Literature Ireland
Ahead of its public opening, Gemma Tipton of the Irish Times reviews the new Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), with exhibitions design by RAA. Tipton also considers the “role of a literary museum,” noting that: “literary visitors to Dublin are looking for a different sense of things: they want to come to the city, and a country that spawned such an array of literary greats, and see if they can find some substance to the intangible thing that we call inspiration. A museum can be a focus for that, and Simon O’Connor, MoLI’s director.”
