Morgan Museum

The Morgan Library Museum is famous all over the world. It contains ancient manuscripts, rare scores, valuable collections of autographs, medieval manuscripts.

The collection was started in 1890 by John Morgan, a major production magnate. When the house was not enough space for all copies, a separate library building was built, the facade of which is made of white marble. Its construction was completed in 1906.

During the Great Depression, part of the collection was sold. Some specimens, therefore, can be found in different museums around the world.

The library became available after the death of John Morgan. In 1928, additional reading and exhibition rooms were added to the library.

In 2000, the building was completely reconstructed. In 2006, the lobby was rebuilt, and glass was inserted into the roof. Today, in addition to rare exhibits, including musical works written by Mozart and the Bible of 1455, you can visit Morgan’s office with exhibited favorite paintings of the great collector.
