This is well worth a visit...beautiful inside!
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Had visited this years ago and it's a favorite. Unfortunately, on a graduation weekend, many parts were closed off from the public. In addition, the library has closed additional rooms to "staff only" since the last visit. This favorite has become extremely limited.
