James Joyce Exhibition tour

Fri 30 January 12:30 - 13:30

Join librarian, Fiona Melhuish, archivist, Jackie Bishop, and Art Collections curator, Hannah Lyons, for a curator tour of the exhibition James Joyce: Enigmas & Puzzles on display in the Staircase Hall.

Learn about James Joyce and his amazing personal archive, which is now part of Special Collections. We will explore the themes of the archive, library and artwork, which shine a light on Joyce’s creative methods, his struggles to get published, his family life and his huge circle of friends and supporters.

The tour in the Staircase Hall will last about 45 minutes and culminate in an opportunity to peek behind the scenes. At the end of the session there’ll be a chance to ask questions and to chat with Fiona, Jackie and Hannah.
