A celebration of Dublin, Ireland's capital city, as it has been immortalised down through the years, in music, literature, art and stuff.
"For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal." – James Joyce (1882-1941)
