|  No there is not a museum dedicated specifically to Joyce. You can visit the writers Museum in Dublin. There is Joyce's tower in Dun Loaghaire (SP)(pr: Dun Leary). DL is on the DART and a lovely afternoon. Joyce moved about a good bit, so no there is no Joyce home open for tours. |

| Joyce lived in 2 different suburbs of Dublin during his childhood. As far as I know, neither of these houses is open to the public. There is a Joyce Museum about 10 miles south of Dublin in a Martello tower in Sandycove. I also recommend the Dubliln Writers Museum and the "literary pub crawl" of Dublin which includes places frequented by Joyce and other notables like Oscar Wilde and GB Shaw. You can visit these JJ hang-outs: High School: Clongowes Wood College, Clane, County Kildare College: University College Dublin (Former location at St Stephens Green) Favorite drinking hole: Davy Byrne's pub, off Grafton Street |
