This museum, built in an older synagogue, sits in an area that was once a Jewish center in Ireland. The museum houses information about the daily life and rituals, and allows James Joyce fans of Ulysses (whose character Leopold Bloom was Jewish) to see what life was like in Ireland in the early 1900's.
