Book of Kells



like everyone else that visits Dublin i viewed the Book of Kells. too many people to really enjoyed the amazing book. i was enthralled with the Long Hall: the wooden ceiling and the stacks of ancient books.



i have no pictures of the Long Hall or the Kells exhibit as there is none allowed anywhere in the building. i understand why.

a man stepped in front of the small group of visitors that i was in and held up his camera and began focusing on the Long Hall. i held up my arm, reached past him, and pointed at the “No Photography/Videography” sign. we had a short discussion about precisely what the sign meant.



i thoroughly enjoyed the tour i took before viewing the Book of Kells. the tour guide was a third year philosophy major at Trinity and spoke eloquently about the history of Trinity and the Book.
