Armstrong Browning Library & Museum

How Do I Love Thee?

What makes it fun

Armstrong Browning Library is home to one of the world’s largest collection of Browning materials. As if the collection housed inside wasn’t impressive enough, many have fallen in love with the exquisite architecture and furnishings in the building itself. This is the perfect spot to enjoy with your Browning loving significant other. But be quiet, it’s a library after all. The stained glass windows are just as pretty from the outside as they are from the inside.

My son and I went with no expectations and were extremely pleased with the visit. A beautiful building with spectacular stained glass windows, paintings from as far back as the 12th century, meticulously engraved furniture, along with magnificent architecture and interior design. I was very much overwhelmed!!! (Should not bring young children. Not a place they should be.)
Visit and be amazed! Definitely one I'll never forget. And no entry fee! Wow!

One of my favorite places, especially to study on campus. Always quiet and empty and, of course, beautiful, so any time I'm through Waco I'll take people there. Once someone was practicing on the harpsichord so that was a nice day.

OMG I've been coming to Waco on and off for over 60 years and never had any idea this spectacular museum was in Waco. It's on the Baylor campus but very easy to get to with parking. The building is absolutely stunning like something you would see in Europe. Absolutely spectacular museum make sure you go to all three floors.

One of the most beautiful and peaceful places on the Baylor campus. Lots of artifacts for the literature buffs and the design is incredible for aspiring architects to check out.

This is likely Wacos best kept secret! What an incredible and beautifully curated gem. We added the Armstrong Browning to our trip and it did not disappoint.
The staff and volunteers are knowledgeable and hospitable. They made us feel like we were VIPs!

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.

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.
