Great exhibition for the book of Kells, recommend downloading the audio tour. The library is like Harry Potter meets real life academia.

The Book of Kells Experience was very interesting and educational. There is tons of information and resources as you’re walking through before seeing the book itself. Once you’re in the room with the book it kind of draws you in with the ornate lettering and illustrations. Definitely recommend!
