Morgan Library

Hi collection has many odd things like this casting.

The Morgan Library holds amazing things, Mr. Morgan liked to collect.  One of his passions was books, rare and valuable books.  In his collection are three Gutenberg Bibles....only 40 or so exist in the world, and 4 of them are in NYC the fourth is in the New York City Main Library.

Then were rooms of cases with little trinkets like these.
We were told there is so much in his collection that most of it is in storage and is rotated several times a year.

If you get the chance to go I highly recommend it, to see the building alone is worth
the admission price.

The Morgan Library and Museum

   Here are just a few ceilings from the many rooms at the Morgan Library.  The build is absolutely stunning before even looking at all the collections.

Tapestries from the Clositers

 I found the detail stitched into these tapestries so enchanting I included many pictures so you can see too.  No flash is allowed but I could take as many pictures as I wanted.  Enjoy.
