The Morgan Library & Museum, Research library and museum in Manhattan, United States.
The Morgan Library and Museum spans multiple buildings connected by a glass atrium, containing three historic rooms lined with inlaid walnut bookshelves.
Banker J.P. Morgan established this private library in 1906, which his son transformed into a public institution in 1924 for educational purposes.
The collection includes over 350,000 objects, from ancient artifacts to modern manuscripts, plus original compositions by Mozart and Beethoven's musical scores.
Visitors can join free guided tours every Tuesday through Sunday at 12:30 PM to discover highlights from the permanent collection.
The library preserves one of three surviving copies of the Gutenberg Bible printed on vellum, displayed in Morgan's original study room.
