Dublin Castle is a landmark of the old section of Dublin. And yet, it hosts a cultural gem, sometimes considered as one of Europe’s best art centers.
The Chester Beatty is both a library and an art gallery exhibiting outstanding thematic treasures. The one featured in this post was displaying some of the old books, where many were from Japan to Persia.
The Chester Beatty Library
The modern design of the gallery blends perfectly with the outside enclosed garden on the ground of the medieval castle.
