The facility is housed in a restored 18th-century Georgian mansion at 35 North Great George’s Street in Dublin, which dates from a time when Dublin’s north inner city was at its most opulent. The Earl of Kenmare and a Denis Maginni, who appeared in Ulysses, previously owned it. Furniture from Paul Leon’s Paris flat, where Joyce composed much of Finnegans Wake, and the door to Leopold Bloom and his wife, Molly, number 7 Eccles Street, one of the more renowned addresses in literature, which was saved from demolition by John Ryan, are on permanent display. Aside from the furnishings, the institution does not have a permanent collection, but temporary exhibitions interpret various parts of Joyce’s life and work, and the centre hosts seminars, literary walking tours, and the annual Bloomsbury Festival in Dublin. They also promote other Joycean activities, such as Bloomsday celebrations in communities.
