The+British+Library

** The British Library is the National Library of the U.K. and open to the public not only as a museum, but as a research library as well! The library is home to many original manuscripts such as Lewis Carroll's //Alice's Adventures Under Ground// (complete with the original illustrations), the original score of Handel's //Messiah,// and original lyrics written by The Beatles. Interactive technology litters the exhibition including a screen where you can actually turn the pages of one of these rare documents (I flipped through Da Vinci's Notebook). The library has a cafe, free WiFi is offered throughout the building, and research rooms can be reserved upon request.
