New Robert Burns House Museum Opens

The Scottish poet Robert Burns, a favorite among the collections and personalities associated with the Rosenbach has a new house museum at his birthplace in Ayrshire.

Opened by the National Trust, the new museum has a host of attractions you can read about here.

For a state-side Burns fix, the Rosenbach has a wonderful collection, including hand-written manuscripts-drafts of poems, a powder horn that belonged to the poet from 1796 (which is quite often on display in the library), and at least two miniature portraits of the poet exist among the miniature collection.
My favorite Burns item at the Rosenbach is the engraving of Burns that belonged to Marianne Moore!
