The Chester Beatty Library has an amazing collection of illustrated and illuminated manuscripts from Asia, the Middle East, and Europe (and it's free to visit!).

Free admission and a great historic collection of religious artifacts and paintings makes this place worth your time. Check it out!

This library is a must see. It is the amazing private collection of Chester Beatty and features everything and anything. Exhibits include ancient manuscripts from Asia and Europe, including from the major religions, as well as paintings and artefacts. It is next to the Castle and easy to reach on the hop-on hop-off bus.

You will probably only be able to cover a small fraction of the magnificent collection on display at any given time. Utterly fascinating. (The Book of Kells is in the Trinity College library.)

Amazing collection of books, especially religious texts, with beautiful artwork inside. Best of all it is free and uncrowded.

This is an unusual museum - quite out of the ordinary - and everyone will find a cabinet that appeals to their interests. The building is bright and modern and the cafe is a great place for a tasty lunch, or simply a coffee. There's a nice little gift shop and entry is free -what more could you want?!!

we stumbled upon this by accident, a gem of lost treasures from the orient and a lovely cafe and roof garden :0
