By Laura LaVelle, Wonder Shuffle Culture Editor:
On a recent visit to Dublin, I checked out the Museum of Literature Ireland (otherwise known as MoLI as a small tribute to Molly Bloom).
It's a charming little spot on St. Stephen's Green, housed in what was the original site for University College Dublin, with a beautiful garden, a cafe, and a small but rather sweet bookshop.
Initially planned to be focused on James Joyce, the museum's scope expanded to cover Irish literature more broadly. The current exhibitions include an exploration of Irish romance fiction and a film installation about Oscar Wilde's De Profundis, and the permanent collection includes Joyce's "Copy No. 1" of Ulysses as well as a rather enchanting interactive exhibit, the Riverrun of Language, named from the first word of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake.

It's a really delightful place to spend an afternoon, enjoying the beauty of the written word and the culture of a great literary city.
