The James Joyce Centre is a museum dedicated to promoting an understanding of the life and works of James Joyce. The Centre is situated in a restored 18th-century Georgian townhouse, dating from a time when the north inner city of Dublin was at the height of its grandeur. On permanent exhibit is the door to number 7 Eccles Street — home to Leopold Bloom, possibly the most famous address in all literature — and furniture from Paul Leon's apartment in Paris where Joyce wrote much of Finnegans Wake. Temporary exhibitions interpret and illuminate various aspects of Joyce's life and work.
