    I am not a huge Shakespeare buff and I still had fun here. Lots and lots of priceless history here. Definitely come if you are an writing or history buff.

    The small museum has a replica of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and an Elizabethan garden in the back, and is nice to visit combined with a performance.

    Exceptional modern classical structure housing the world'st largest collection of Shakespearana. Buit in 1929-32, with Paul Cret as lead architect and Alexander B. Trowbridge as consulting architect.
