点评:Not a particular Browing fan and thus the creator's obsession (!) with them is a bit beyond me, but it's a beautiful building with amazing woodwork and stained glass, accompanied by much Browning memorabilia, all carefully signed for your reading pleasure if desired. You can do a self-guided tour or request one from the desk. My guide was an engaging student who did a far better job than I would have for what is probably a work study position. Students use the main reading room - I probably would too, and at least initially be slightly awestruck. There's a pretty comprehensive Wedgewood display collection downstairs- no particular connection to the Brownings - and a recreation 'salon' upstairs. If you do happen to be a Browning enthusiast, this will probably blow you away :)
