Museo Joyce

A tiny museum with the simply told history of Joyce's relationship of a city he came to as a young man when it was still an Austrian port and left almost 20 years later when it was in Republica Italia. His family and major works were born here. Worth a visit.

Sadly, this was not a museum. This place is more like an office, organizing the annual Bloomsday, and giving a lecture to the small audience. I went all the way to trace James Joyce, but was terribly disappointed. It is great to have a place like this to remember and honor Joyce, but please don't call it a museum. People get a wrong expectation.

A bit of a disapointment. Thinking it was a small museum it is actually a study centre. You need to understand a good deal of Italian to be able to appreciate it. Admission is free. There is a video (in Italian and English) about the life of Joyce in Trieste and his encounters with Italo Svevo. It is situated on the second floor.

It is quite small but also very interesting to visit.
