Trinity college's timeless treasure
The Trinity College Library is an iconic and timeless treasure in Dublin, known for its stunning architecture and rich history. The Old Library, with its high bookshelves, is a must-see, especially with the impressive turning globe, symbolizing the library's collection of knowledge. Unfortunately, much of the library is currently under restoration, and many of the bookshelves are empty as the process continues. Despite this, the library still has its 'wow factor' and offers visitors a glimpse into Ireland's literary history, making it well worth a visit even during the renovation. You can combine your visit to the Trinity College Library with a trip to the Book of Kells Experience, which is right next to the library. This immersive exhibition brings to life one of Ireland's most famous treasures: the illuminated manuscripts created by monks around the 9th century. The experience includes a deeper look at the context in which the Book of Kells was made, offering a better understanding of its significance.
