The Morgan Library & Museum, located in the heart of New York City, began as the personal library of financier and cultural benefactor Pierpont Morgan. Established between 1902 and 1906, the library showcases a collection of illuminated manuscripts, early printed books, and master drawings, reflecting America's Age of Elegance through its Italian Renaissance-style architecture.

In 1924, following Morgan's death, his son transformed the library into a public institution, ensuring its treasures were accessible to scholars and the public. Over the years, the Morgan has expanded its physical space and collection, adding significant facilities and amenities while maintaining its intimate atmosphere.
