Just a stone throw away from St. Stephen Green lies the Trinity
College. It is the oldest university in
Ireland, founded by England’s Queen Elizabeth I in 1592.
Upon entering trough a
beautiful archway, you will be immediately drawn to some of its ancient
seclusion of cobbled pathway, 18th century buildings and immaculate gardens.
a) Long Room
Dubbed a UNESCO City of Literature in 2010, Dublin has the finest collection of Artefacts in the Treasury. Hence your trip to Dublin will never be complete without a visit to the “Long Room” in The Trinity College. You might recall a room called Jedi Archives if you call yourself a “Star Wars” Fan. “Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.”

The Gallery do
not have a permanent collection. It’s a great place to visit if you like the
idea of great new ideas and value opinions. “A collision of Art and Science ” is
perhaps the best sentence to describe this awe-inspiring gallery.
