I'm really excited about the opportunity to visit Trinity College and view the Book of Kells. My English literature textbooks always had photographs from the Book of Kells, and they fascinated me. The Book of Kells was created in the 9th century and is an intricately and colorfully illustrated manuscript of the four gospels and the New Testament. Click here for a link to a Youtube video that explains the significance of the Book of Kells.
We'll also visit the Long Room, fascinating for its architecture and its 200,000 volume collection of books. Check out this link to a panorama of the room by Darren McLoughlin.
