Dún Laoghaire is home to the Festival Of World Cultures, a three day festival dedicated to music from all corners of the globe. It is one of the largest music festivals in Ireland attracting over a quarter of a million visitors to the town over a weekend in August. Dún Laoghaire has associations with many leading cultural figures, most notably James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. Joyce's stay with Oliver St. John Gogarty in a Martello Tower in nearby Sandycove he later immortalised in the opening chapter of Ulysses. This tower, known as the James Joyce Tower, is in nearby Sandycove. It contains a small museum. Samuel Beckett came from nearby Foxrock and is said to have experienced an artistic epiphany, alluded to in his play Krapp's Last Tape, while sitting on the end of one of Dún Laoghaire's piers. A bronze plaque marks the spot. A new purpose built theatre, the Pavilion, opened its doors in 2000. Built on the site of the 1903 'Kingstown Pavilion', it serves as the Municipal Theatre for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, and is a host venue for a number of important festivals including the International Puppet Festival, and, recently, the Dublin Theatre Festival. The National Maritime Museum of Ireland is housed in "Mariners' Church", which formerly served the British Navy, and is situated in the town centre, alongside a spiral walk, pond and public bowling ground. Mariners' Church is currently undergoing major refurbishment. A Carnegie library, with a modern extension, is located on Library Road, and hosts the county library headquarters. A new central library will be built alongside the maritime museum. There is a tiny oratory (4m x 6m). described as a "gem of Celtic Renaissance Art" |
