Shakespeare Birthplace, UK
From series “Houses of Famous People and Stars Currently Open to Tourists”
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.
