What you'll see
Calm, dim galleries of beautiful books and objects from across the world: Qur'ans, early Bible papyri, Japanese woodblock prints, Chinese jade and Persian painting. There's a quiet roof garden too.
A brief history
An American mining magnate, Alfred Chester Beatty, collected it all and left it to Ireland when he died in 1968.
