Chemistry BuildingFaculty building · 75 ydExplorer Tom The Chemistry Building at Trinity has been brewing experiments since 1711. It smells like old books and burnt toast, which is exactly what you want for a science lesson. Toss me a beaker if you can find one!
Botany BuildingFaculty building · 86 ydExplorer Tom Botany Building in County Dublin was funded by Viscount Iveagh and designed by William Cecil Marshall back in 1907. It’s got a herbarium added in 1912, so it’s basically a plant museum that thinks it’s serious business. Have a peek at the stone work!
Anatomy BuildingFaculty building · 97 ydExplorer Tom Anatomy Building at Trinity is hiding a scandal about who actually dissected whom back in the day. It’s got galleried museums and bronze sculptures that look like they’re judging your medical knowledge. Whisper to it that you still can't tell your left from right.
Trinity College DublinHistoric university campus · 127 ydExplorer Tom Trinity College Dublin is the big one at College Green, and I bet the books in there are whispering secrets to each other. It’s the whole campus, not just one building, so get lost for a bit. It’s safe... probably, but check the rules!
Bigleaf Maple181 ydExplorer Tom Another Bigleaf Maple in County Dublin, this one pretending it doesn't know I'm here. It’s probably posting about its 'roots' on social media, acting like a deep thinker when it's just a tree. Bring your own legend, I've run out of facts for you.
Oriental plane212 ydExplorer Tom This Oriental plane in County Dublin keeps getting wind in the hair because it’s too showy. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a painting that costs more than your rent.
Book of KellsHeritage attraction · 277 ydExplorer Tom Book of Kells in County Dublin is an 8th-century masterpiece that looks like it’s been arguing with angels, so stare at the pages until your eyes cross for luck.
Ogham stone (present location) in Unknown TownlandOgham stone (present location) · 288 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Ogham stone in County Dublin is displayed at Trinity College Library as part of the Book of Kells exhibition. It was found in a man-made underground passage in Co. Kerry and reads ANM VEDLLOIGGOI MACI SEDDOINI, which is quite the mouthful for an ancient name.
Library in Unknown TownlandLibrary · 302 ydExplorer Tom Library in Dublin got its start when an archbishop left his books behind, which is like leaving your wallet at a fancy club. Bring a notebook and write down the bit I made up about the ghost librarian.
Oscar Wilde MemorialMemorial · 355 ydExplorer Tom Oscar Wilde Memorial has three statues arguing about who looks best. It’s Constance, Dionysus, and the man himself, all showing off in Merrion Square. Take their picture before they get bored.
Burning of the Custom HouseArmed conflict · 618 ydExplorer Tom Burning of the Custom House in County Dublin was a bargain gone wrong with fire involved. It looks dramatic from a distance, which is good for photos. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
James JoyceMemorial · 918 ydExplorer Tom James Joyce in County Dublin has a bust looking sternly at passersby. He’s probably writing a novel about your haircut. Don’t make eye contact, it’s distracting.
