The Morgan Library & Museum - Free Audio Guide

The Morgan Library & Museum in New York City originated from the private collection of financier Pierpont Morgan and evolved into a public institution preserving rare books, manuscripts, drawings, prints and decorative arts. Architecturally notable for its early 20th‑century library rooms and subsequent museum extensions, the institution is significant for research in literature, art history and archival studies, and for its exhibitions that contextualise its holdings. Principal attractions include illuminated medieval manuscripts, rare printed books, artists’ drawings and important literary and historical manuscripts, alongside the original library interiors. Visiting hours and admission fees vary by season and special programmes, and the museum offers a range of ticket types. The institution provides accessible facilities and services for visitors with disabilities and supports scholarly work through conservation, exhibitions and public programmes.
