Nora Barnacle House Museum ; Bowling Green, Galway City
Just a few steps from Shop Street, by St. Nicholas Collegiate Church, nestles the smallest museum in Ireland, a perfect setting in which to take you back through the romantic mists of time. This tiny turn of the century house was the home of Nora Barnacle, companion wife and life-long inspiration of James Joyce, Ireland's greatest writer. It was here in 1909, sitting at the kitchen table that Joyce first met his darling's mother. Letters, photographs and other exhibits of the lives of James Joyce & Nora Barnacle make a visit here a unique experience
