# Joyce Trail plaques, Dublin

The Joyce Trail is a 1988 artwork by artist Robin Buick consisting of 14 separate bronze plaques set into the streets of Dublin, Ireland at locations relevant to scenes from the novel Ulysses (1922) by James Joyce. Each plaque has a quote from the book relevant to the place where the plaque is installed.
According to a 1990s Dublin Tourism publication, the series of plaques, designed by Buick, "trace the route of Leopold Bloom in the lunch-time section of the book" from Abbey Street to the gate of the National Museum.
The plaques were sponsored by Cantrell & Cochrane (Dublin) Limited, an Irish manufacturer, marketer and distributor of alcoholic and soft drinks.
