  • ... that the Museum of Literature Ireland is branded MoLI in homage to Molly Bloom of James Joyce's Ulysses, of which it holds "Copy No. 1"? Source: Totally Dublin - [1] - MoLI / Molly - "...important that the project had a name that ... would communicate a strong brand ... gravitas ... openness ... and playfulness ... had to make a reference to Joyce in some way. ... But I think we hit the target with ‘MoLI‘. ... delighted that the museum was named for Joyce’s heroine. / Copy No. 1 - "The core exhibitions include ... Joyce’s famous ‘Copy No.1’ of Ulysses, which he personally inscribed ... a modern day Book of Kells, and easily the most important modern literary artefact on display anywhere in the world."

Further improvement

edit

After the recent improvement drive, what next... I suggest we add:

  • a short summary of at least two major exhibitions
  • brief details of organisation structure, and a few names
  • a little more on operations, finance and visitor volumes (obviously much-impacted by C-19)

and of course we need a set of decent pictures.

I believe a separate article is needed on Newman House, and for now will use the one decent Wikimedia picture of that building. SeoR (talk) 14:26, 17 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
