I hadn’t visited this place in years, and it was even more spectacular than I remembered!

It’s absolutely worth visiting in person, but in the meantime, you can learn about the collection, librarian Belle da Costa Greene, and how the buildings were renovated in these videos:

... endless amount of knowledge ...

The Morgan Library, New York CIty, USA

Its collection is priceless to say the least. Apart from the manuscripts from Dickens and Twain, it houses the original musical scores by Mozart and Beethoven. And even drawings by masters: da Vinci, Michelangelo and Rembrandt.

reading about Belle da Costa Greene who was a librarian and art historian who worked for the Morgan Library in New York and was famous for her efforts at adding to and maintaining the collection. and she was a Black woman who passed for white so that she could be successful, and the book I’m reading is historical fiction but still, knowing she would be recognized for her true self at one point and could shine as a beacon of a successful Black woman in a time when that was nearly impossible… like it’s so beautiful
