Armstrong Browning Library & Museum

In 1951, the Armstrong Browning Library & Museum was formally dedicated, fulfilling the dream of Baylor English professor A.J. Armstrong to construct a facility that would serve as a home for the world's largest collection of materials related to the poets Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and would inspire future generations of writers, musicians, and artists. The 75th year will be marked by a series of events, including an academic symposium and celebration.

On Thursday, April 23, 2026, the Armstrong Browning Library & Museum celebrated Browning Day in the McLean Foyer of Meditation and featured Dr. Jamie Van Eyck and Baylor School of Music students who celebrated the lives of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning in poetry and music. Video from the event is available and worth a watch!
