Shakespeare Birthplace, UK

In the picturesque British town of Stratford-upon-Avon is one of the most visited and most valuable literary monuments of the state - William Shakespeare's House Museum. In this house is born the excellent writer. Today, the beautiful old house, designed from the outside and from the inside with solid oak, is just a part of the large museum complex dedicated to the world famous writer.

Since 1847 the old house belongs to the committee 'Birthday Shakespeares'. In the middle of the 19th century, its representatives carried out one of the largest reconstructions of the building. Today, the house is characterized by the magnificent wood and stone furnishings. The old fireplaces and the fine furniture from the Elizabethan period have been preserved. The central exposition of the museum is devoted to the history and life of the great writer and his family.

In the living room is presented the collection of valuable antique furniture. This is one of the few rooms in which the original stone floor has been preserved. In the dining room one can see the beautiful old Gobelins, and on the first floor are the bedrooms of all family members. William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in one of the bedrooms with the splendid furnishings. This room preserves the old baby bed and even a collection of unique toys. After visiting the antique collection, you can walk through the garden, which today looks as beautiful as it was centuries ago. Next - Museo Casa Ernest Hemingway
