Dublin

The Royal Irish Academy Library holds the largest collection of medieval manuscripts containing medical texts in Irish. Through these manuscripts, our new exhibition aims to highlight a lesser known aspect of medieval Irish society and the range of medical learning to which Irish doctors had access and which they made their own.
Monday - Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Free. Groups by appointment. Occasionally access to the exhibition area is limited due to conferences.
