You must go and see the Armstrong Browning library and museum at the Baylor University. The whole building is a site to see. The 62 stained glass windows, the bronze front doors, The foyer of mediation, the treasure room and lots more. Take a seat in the meditation room and breathe in the history and contemplate life and god. Its all a homage to the poet Robert Browning, a collection by Dr A Joseph Armstrong who was the head of the English dept from 1912-1952. The research library were the students can go and study must be amazing to use everyday. Friendly helpful staff at both entrances will give you useful info and leaflets. It can be a bit hard to find parking but there is meter parking a few streets away.

We had the most interesting woman give us a wonderful background about the library/museum. We thought we would go in, take a quick look, and leave. A good hour later…. The stained glass windows are stunning, the facility beautiful, and many artifacts to see. Well worth the time.

We went on a tour with Sherry, which lasted around 1-1/2 hours. This is a beautiful library housing a collection of antiques, personal belongs, furniture, letters, and art work belonging to Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The history is interesting and informative. You could probably visit the library on your own, but, if possible, schedule a docent led tour to get the most out of your visit. Located on the Baylor campus. There is free street parking around the building.
