Dubh Linn Gardens

posted by xbeard on 8 June 2011 at 09:26

Not a typo, but actually the real beginnings of the settlement, named after the dark pool from which the city got its name. The gardens are just behind the castle, but avoid at lunch time if it's a nice day as the office folk turn out in force!

Abbey Theatre

Over for the holidays in Dublin we got treated to see a fabulous play here. The history was evident but not overbearing and the venue had such a great atmosphere, would recommend going to see something here.

Dublin Writers Museum

A little off the beaten track this one, it's a lovely homage to ireland's literary past and well worth seeking out if you're a fan of literature. The collection is intersting and well-put together keeping you engaged as the influence of Dublin in the writing world unfurls.

Dublinia

posted by welinor on 24 November 2010 at 12:36

A really interesting and informative place to visit, Dublinia tells the story of Dublins histoty to invasion by anglo-normans to the 1500s, complete with a huge model of Dublin at this time. Loads of different mediums are used to tell the story with aretefacts, videos and interactive stuff too so the kids will stay interested.

Chester Beatty Library

posted by dgottwine on 11 October 2010 at 10:05

The Chester Beatty Library is an art museum and library housing a vast collection of manuscripts, paintings, prints and drawings. We popped on one rainy afternoon as admission is free. The highlight for me was the collection of Qu'rans and Egyptian papyrus texts.
