A place to remember seeing the library globe and shelves upstairs from the Book of Kells. The book was on depiction of Mary, the artistry amazing. The movies explaining what you are seeing and the history were just really well done.Posted on Google![]()

Absolute MUST in Dublin. Such a great experience and the long room?! Amazing. We booked with a guided tour of the campus, which was super informative. Our tour guide, Clementine was really great, charismatic and very helpful. The book was what we visited for, but it's safe to say that the long room absolutely stole the show. The smell when you walk in is incredible. I will say though that if you suffer from motion sickness, then the 360⁰ room might make you queasy. If you're in doubt whether it's worth the money to see a book (I was) then just do it, you won't be disappointed!+3Posted on Google![]()

This was my second time doing this experience. While I was excited to see the books, I didn't think I would find anything too exciting as I'd seen it before. Well, I was wrong! They added a second building/experience which was truly astounding. The mix of technology, historical facts, and art was truly an amazing feat.Posted on Google![]()

The Books of Kers Experience offers an absolutely captivating immersion that far surpasses the typical cultural visit. From the moment you step through the door, the meticulous ambiance, lighting, and attention to detail immediately transport you to a unique literary universe, where every corner tells its own story. The narrative is masterfully woven, achieving a perfect balance between nostalgia for the great classics and innovative staging. The guides and staff display a contagious passion that enriches the experience, making you feel not just as a spectator, but as a character within the story. It is a must-do for both book lovers and those seeking an original, carefully curated, and high-quality leisure experience. Without a doubt, it's one of those experiences that stays with you and that you'll want to repeat from the very first minute.+9

Must see site in Dublin! The tour takes about 90 minutes, and it comes with a free audio guide that tells you everything you need to know. The history of the book is fascinating and you get goosebumps when you actually see the Book of Kells. The library tour is equally stunning even though most of the books are being repaired right now. There is a new multimedia experience after the tour that gives you added background information if you want it.+3Posted on Google![]()

Trinity College Dublin is the oldest university in Ireland and home to the country's greatest cultural treasure: the Book of Kells. This precious 9th-century manuscript, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament, is on display as part of the Book of Kells Experience. In the Old Library, visitors can first admire the book (photography prohibited), after which they proceed to the Long Room, considered one of the most beautiful libraries in the world. Also on display is Gaia, the awe-inspiring, illuminated artwork by Luke Jerram. Gaia displays detailed NASA images of the Earth's surface, showing the planet floating in three dimensions as it would be seen from space. Next, there is a digital exhibition in the Red Pavilion next to the Old Library, where all the stories, animations, and sculptures come to life before your eyes. Open: Monday to Thursday 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM, Friday and Saturday 8:30 AM - 7:00 PM, Sunday 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM. Tickets: €25 pp (online only)+20

An absolutely incredible experience. The way they brought the history to life through immersive digital projections is visually stunning. The attention to detail in the lighting and the 360-degree displays create a truly captivating atmosphere that completely surrounds you. It's a masterpiece of visual storytelling.

That is a prime site right in Dublin centre. Even if you are not interested in medieval history or religious artifacts, the way that the specific manuscript has been presented is excellent and the visit to Trinity library supports the overall immersive experience. Unfortunately I did not have time to extend to the digital part of the exhibition, which would probably worth a look, still the overall visit was excellent.Posted on Google![]()

Seeing the historic Book of Kells up close is already a very special experience. But the extended Book of Kells Experience is also incredibly well done. Modern, digital light and sound installations bring the story of the manuscript and the monks vividly to life. The combination of the centuries-old parchment pages and the state-of-the-art, immersive show is extremely successful. An absolute highlight for culture and history enthusiasts in Dublin!

At Trinity College, you can enter by booking tickets in advance and showing up at the designated time. Inside, there's an original copy of the Book of Kells, which is very beautiful. They say it was hand-painted by the monks and wasn't for everyday viewing, but for use in ceremonies. The old library on the second floor is also magnificent.+10

We visited the Book of Kells attraction and we loved it. Seeing such an old book in person is extraordinary in itself, and then seeing the majestic Long Room is just as amazing. The interactive part afterwards is really well done. I highly recommend this visit.+5
