This major exhibition in Trinity College is based around the Book of Kells, an ancient Celtic manuscript housed in the beautifully restored Old Library. Written in around 800AD and one of the most beautifully illuminated manuscripts in the world, it’s been on display in Trinity since the 19th century and has always been a big draw on the tourist trail. Tickets to the exhibition include entry to the Long Room, the main chamber in the Old Library – nearly 65 metres long, it houses around 200,000 of the Library’s oldest books and also has a collection of busts and sculptures around its walls that was started in the 1700s.
