Overview

The Morgan Library & Museum in Murray Hill grew from financier J. Pierpont Morgan's private library, built in 1906, and holds rare manuscripts, books, drawings, and art in an ornate, intimate setting. Rotating exhibitions connect literature, art, and music, and a courtyard and seasonal garden offer a quiet retreat.
