... that the Museum of Literature Ireland is branded MoLI in homage to
Molly Bloom of James Joyce's
Ulysses, of which it holds "Copy No. 1"? Source: Totally Dublin -
[1] - MoLI / Molly - "...important that the project had a name that ... would communicate a strong brand ... gravitas ... openness ... and playfulness ... had to make a reference to Joyce in some way. ... But I think we hit the target with ‘MoLI‘. ... delighted that the museum was named for Joyce’s heroine. / Copy No. 1 - "The core exhibitions include ... Joyce’s famous ‘Copy No.1’ of Ulysses, which he personally inscribed ... a modern day Book of Kells, and easily the most important modern literary artefact on display anywhere in the world."
ALT1:... that key exhibits at the Museum of Literature Ireland in
Dublin include "Copy No. 1" of

Overall: I prefer ALT0. I added a reference after the Riverrun sentence in the article to make ALT1 eligible for DYK. Great job on the article

Further improvement
After the recent improvement drive, what next... I suggest we add:
a short summary of at least two major exhibitions
brief details of organisation structure, and a few names
a little more on operations, finance and visitor volumes (obviously much-impacted by C-19)
and of course we need a set of decent pictures.
I believe a separate article is needed on Newman House, and for now will use the one decent Wikimedia picture of that building.
