The exhibition hall is excellent - it’s not big so you can get through it quickly but it’s packed with great content AND there’s stuff for kids to do as well. There’s also a theatre here and if you don’t want to sit down for a while play there’s a TV outside the entrance for casual visitors to get a sense of what’s inside. If you want to see the reading room you need to come on a Saturday at noon.

Lovely building , especially if you get the VIP tour where you can see original first editions of Shakespeare's finest. The smell of the old books does indeed smell of a rich moehegemy and dang it..I liked it ! Incidentally, we also checked out the Third Rail show : Confection and adored it.

A great place to learn more about the Bard and fully experience the concept of "all the world's a stage"

Cool building but I wish you could use the reading room for reading... Seems like the perfect place for a rainy afternoon with a book

This place is a little gem. Who knew there was an unpretentious, high quality juice place in DC? Owned by a former aeronautical engineer (!) whose mother founded the business after being diagnosed with breast cancer, this place hires from the community and serves all natural, fresh pressed juices and fresh smoothies. Plus it's a great way to support a local, black woman-owned business!

"Partial View" is an understatement. Expect a 3-foot-wide wooden column sitting a foot in front of your face. I felt cheated and was surprised the organization would even sell such seats. Whoever wrote the program notes and synopsis of Henry IV has no grasp of the public, or of accessible/coherent writing in general. I don't doubt the value of the library, but this was not a good first experience; probably my last.
