armstrong browning library

A-B Library is an outstanding place to visit often. One comes away with a greater appreciation for the Brownings.

Any fan of the Brownings should try to visit this museum at least once in their lives. They had an exhibit with other Browning contemporaries while we were there. Saw actual correspondence written by Tennyson, Dickens, Whittier, and others. The building is beautiful and there is no admission.

Undeniably this is an impressive and finely crafted building, in an exquisite and peaceful setting, and staffed by delightfully courteous and enthusiastic folk. However, the core justification for this shrine's creation was surely to communicate the literary and living significance of the two poets, not to deify them with arcane memorabilia and tenuous associations. If this museum indeed possesses the ultimate Browning collection, it should be taking professional advice on how to ensure that departing visitors leave excited and stimulated. Modern curating expertise would suggest presentation strategies and narrative approaches that could make this museum show a spirit beyond a shell.

Incredible history with lots of artifacts from Robert and Elizabeth Browning. Easy parking. Exterior nothing special. Awesome displays including a large number of stained glass windows. We spent an hour but for a Browning researcher this library would be like dying and going to heaven.

It was beautiful! We were unable to see the entire building, but would love to come back for it. It is dedicated to Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning's literature and lives. It includes an entire room from their house (which I was unable to see), man beautiful stained glass windows with literature quotes, books, memorabilia, art. Built beautifully!

I have really no interest in the three famous literary Brownings (or in poetry) but found the interior of the building beautiful with the many stained glass windows and decorative wood, stone, painted ceilings etc. Like an American Cathedral. A lot of time and effort has gone in to this place. Free! Especially good to go when Baylor id out of school as you can talk without bothering studying students. No vist to Baylor or Waco should skip this place, can park right nearby (in the summer) and even if you only have 30 minutes it's worthwhile

It is a relatively small library, but it is beautiful. The marble and glass make for a special interior. No wonder it's so popular for wedding photos.

The library is absolutely spectacular. The architecture is breathtaking. This is one of the most beautiful buildings certainly in Texas, perhaps the entire country. There are some very interesting exhibits, but it is the building itself that is worth seeing. Dark and cool on a hot day. Curator is a lovely gentleman, speak up when you ask him a question! Have lunch in the flower garden. Ahhhhh, everything will taste better. These students don't know how lucky they are.

This is a gem on the Baylor campus and many students don't even know it exists. it contains many original works and artifacts of Robert and Elizabeth Browning, including their furniture relating to many of their love poems. It's history in Waco that few know about but should visit.

My friend and I agreed that visiting this library was the highlight of our weekend in Waco! The stain glass collection is lovely as is the collection of Wedgewood pottery. We enjoyed the large collection of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning poetry, their personal collection of books, paintings and other artifacts. I look forward to returning some day! Allow plenty of time for browsing.

Fascinating and beautiful place, with gorgeous artwork and stained glass windows and historical pieces; nice gift shop also!

Very interesting library on Baylor University campus. Lots of stained glass windows and lit of history about Robert and Elizabeth Browning.

contains many works, some original, and memorabilia of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, i.e. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways............." Large marble walled rooms. Elegant furnishings

This was a beautiful surprise! After visiting Baylor University twice before, I finally went on the Visitor's Tour of the campus. While on the tour, the guide mentioned the library's history. After our bus tour, my daughter and I visited the library and spent about 45 minutes there. The stained glass throughout the building is beautiful as are the rooms of the library. There is a beautiful garden for meditation or studying on the library grounds. Very beautiful!

Looking for a place of meditation on the glories of love, Christianity, and peace. Visit the Armstrong Browning Library. Stop off in the Garden of Contentment first. Bring a boxed lunch and join Baylor students who are studying or visiting with friends in this newly developed garden. Then go in and see the premier research facility in the world for the study of Robert and Elizabeth Browning. Remember "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!" This and more beautiful quotes can be discovered in the largest collection of secular stained glass windows in the United States. Come back for any of the musical and poetry events held during the year. The gift shop is worth a look for Browning items as well as Baylor coffee. The guides are excellent.
