Would never recommend to read Joyce to a single person but definitely recommend the place for those who already read

It’s a small museum Established in June 1996 in a beautifully restored 1784 Georgian house once belonging to the Earl of Kenmare, featuring fine decorative plasterwork by Michael Stapleton . • Dedicated to promoting the life and works of James Joyce and the broader context of Irish literature and culture

Sono stata al JJC per il Bloomsday. Era molto animato con mostre e improvvisazioni. È piccolo ma curato
