Weekday Sketchers at the Morgan Library

On Location | The Morgan Library & Museum – Party Rental Ltd. Pink Hippo  Blog

Once the private library of JP Morgan, this museum is a jewel box within a treasure chest. A beautiful sunlit atrium connects us to the various galleries, restaurants and shops and brings us to the library building: an over-the-top tribute to great wealth and influence

The current exhibitions offers us opportunity to explore the life of Morgan's personal librarian, Belle de Costa Greene,  who is now celebrated as a woman who defied racial barriers, using her knowledge and skills to build a world class library for her boss.   Additional exhibits explore medieval works of art, painting and the world of Franz Kafka.   In other words, lots to keep us busy.
