Date: Tue 13 Oct – Thu 31 Dec
Location: National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2

One of the most famous and important gothic novels of all time was borne out of the mind of a Dublin Civil Servant and Trinity College Student; a man whose name endures to this day as one of the most famous and influential writers of all time.
Dracula ensured that Bram Stoker’s name would become one of the most famous and beloved names in gothic history, but what was the city that helped shape the man like when he lived here?
What role did Stoker’s upbringing and formative years have to play in making the mind that gave us such genre-defining work, and what part did the city of Dublin play in helping to influence and inform him?
On this tour, we will journey back through time to visit Bram Stoker’s Dublin; see the places where he worked and lived, some of the places he knew best in his earlier years.
Together, we’ll uncover whether there were any clues in his earlier years as to the gifts his mind would bring into the world later in life.
