The James Joyce Tower Collection
The James Joyce Tower Collection offers an intimate portrait of Joyce’s life, work, and lasting influence. Housed in the Martello Tower where Ulysses begins, the collection spans personal belongings, rare editions, letters, photographs, and ephemera connected with Joyce’s world — from Dublin to Trieste, Zurich and Paris.
What began as a modest tribute now stands as one of the most distinctive literary collections in Ireland, expanded through decades of generous donations and curatorial care.
