Join us at the GPO Museum for 2025’s Bloomsday Festival. On Saturday, 14th June we will be holding a number of talks on Dublin in the time of James Joyce, exploring elements of the city that would have inspired and, at times, maddened the writer, particularly in the early 20th century.

Our keynote speaker is Dublin historian DrCatriona Crowe, who will deliver her insights into the works of James Joyce and the city of his birth. Dr. Crowe is the former Head of Special Projects at the National Archives of Ireland. Crowe’s work has been published in numerous journals and her commitment to maintaining Ireland’s archives and her expertise in women’s and social history has made her one of the country’s most esteemed academics.

Our guides will also be delivering talks on a variety of subjects such as music, architecture, social conditions and clothing. So join us on June 14th for an afternoon exploring Dublin at the turn of the century. Entry is free, and all are welcome!

The event starts at 12pm. Booking is not required. However, free admission to the museum itself is not included. Visitors interested in our Bloomsday event may enter at the front desk of the museum and will be directed to the Commemoration Gallery where the event will take place.
