Trinity College Long Room in Dublin, Ireland-Ireland's oldest university, Trinity College, is also the location of the largest library in Ireland. The oldest and rarest of its collection is housed in the Long Room, the largest single-chamber library in the world with over 200,000 volumes preserved inside. Aside from famously housing one of Ireland's national emblems, the Brian Boru harp (yes, the one from the Guinness logo), the Long Room made headlines again recently for serving as "unofficial" inspiration for the Jedi Archives in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

Price returned to Ireland in 2007—this time to Blacksod Bay in County Mayo, a departure point for many who fled the country during the famine of the 1850s. The Temple of Tides was conceived as a monument to those who left as well as a celebration of new population growth.
