James Joyce Tower and Museum, Literary museum in Sandycove, Ireland
The James Joyce Tower and Museum displays personal items, first editions, and historical artifacts within a circular stone fortification overlooking Dublin Bay.
The structure originated as a defensive Martello tower in the early 1800s and later gained recognition when James Joyce stayed there for six nights in 1904.
The tower features in the opening chapter of Ulysses, where the character Buck Mulligan performs his morning ritual on the building's roof platform.
Visitors can access the museum without charge from Thursday through Sunday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with online reservations recommended.
The museum maintains the living quarters exactly as they appeared in 1904, including a ceramic black panther that references a resident's recorded dream.
