The Joyce Museum is located in the historic center of Trieste and was born as a dynamic cultural center open to citizens. The Museum was inaugurated in 2004 to promote and enhance the figure of James Joyce during his stay in Trieste. The museum was created thanks to the donation of Dominic Martin, a well-known collector of Joyce's works and documents. The museum collection is made up of all kinds of objects and documents concerning the period spent by Joyce in Trieste. Poems, unpublished and archival documents, photographs and manuscripts constitute the writer's heritage. The museum's goal is to continue to increase and promote Joyce's knowledge in Trieste. The museum is equipped with an updated library including editions of his works, critical tools in various languages and a complete collection of major Joycean magazines in English, as well as video and multimedia technology.
