    The "Wood Quay" sculpture by Michael Warren stands as a symbolic tribute to Dublin's Viking past, resembling both the flow of the Liffey River and a Viking Longship. As you approach this landmark, you step into the heart of Viking Dublin, with Wood Quay encompassing the city block. Despite its historical significance, the area is now dominated by the controversial Dublin City Council offices, designed by architect Sam Stephenson and met with fierce opposition during construction. The discovery of Viking artifacts during this time underscores Dublin's rich trading history, now preserved in the National Archaeology Museum.
