Topics art, museum, history, cultural heritage, exhibitions

A museum and independent research library located in the heart of New York City, the Morgan Library & Museum began as the personal library of financier, collector, and cultural benefactor Pierpont Morgan. Today, beautiful, light-filled spaces, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, connect three centuries of landmark Morgan architecture, offering visitors an intimate and engaging encounter with the great span of artistic achievement. The Morgan Library & Museum provides visitors with an unforgettable experience in midtown Manhattan. Only at the Morgan can you come face to face with original manuscripts by Mozart and Beethoven, drawings by great masters such as Rembrandt and Rubens to contemporary artists like George Condo and Wangechi Mutu, unmatched medieval and Renaissance illuminated texts, a Gutenberg Bible, literary items from seminal writers such as Twain and Hemingway, and evocative Ancient Western Asian carvings more than two thousand years old.
