... 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."
- ALT1:... that key exhibits at the Museum of Literature Ireland in Dublin include "Copy No. 1" of Ulysses and Riverrun of Language which responds to visitor movements with "showers of sound"?

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]
