Visit the childhood home of Oscar Wilde. It was within the walls of Oscar Wilde House, Dublin City, that young Oscar took his first steps and where he was educated for the first ten years of his life.

As a teenager, Oscar attended nearby Trinity College Dublin. His parents, Lady Jane Wilde, the poet Speranza, and Sir William Wilde, were famous long before Oscar made his mark on the world. The Wilde household was renowned as a centre of culture in Victorian Dublin for 21 years.
