This is an amazing experience you should see. There are items you will not just see anywhere. This is a tribute to both Robert and Elizabeth Browning. The items are rare and beautiful and should be seen. Come check out this gem if you are in Waco. It was free and a great history lesson for kids. This was a wonderful treat and helped us escape the heat.
The prettiest building at Baylor and one of Waco's finest. A great visit for anyone interested in architecture, design, history, literature, poetry or just pretty things. So cool. Huge shout-out to Rachel Bates for our amazing tour!!!
Beautiful ornate library with a vast collection of Browning research and material. Check out the ceiling that has been compared to the one in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Free to visit and to admire near Baylor's campus. Quiet! Also, nice outside wooden furniture to relax and study.
Beautiful library/museum
just amazing. ty for the tour and allowing us to sing in the building. what a treat.
Very quiet and refreshing and peaceful library and very beautiful to observe in the foyer as well as the back hall which was so elegant and peaceful!
Gorgeous place. Very nice historic building & museum
A great old well kept performance theater. I don't recommend the balcony for handicapped, as stairs are a bit steep and seats a bit cramped, however.
Absolutely beautiful. This place is very peaceful as it’s still an active library and a popular place for students to study. Beautiful architecture and just as beautiful courtyard.
I have a bit more appreciation and interest in history and literature than my husband, so this place was quite boring for him. However, I enjoyed it, and loved the architecture and small details! It was a bit awkward when walking in areas where students were studying, but I'm sure they are used to it.
