The Morgan Library & Museum - Free Audio Guide

The Morgan Library & Museum in New York City grew out of the private collections of financier Pierpont Morgan and developed into a public institution that preserves rare books, manuscripts, drawings, prints and decorative arts. Architecturally distinguished by its early 20th‑century library rooms and later museum expansions, the institution is important for research in literature, art history and archival studies, and for exhibitions that illuminate its holdings. Key attractions include illuminated medieval manuscripts, rare printed books, artists’ drawings and notable literary and historical manuscripts, together with the original library interiors. Visiting hours and admission fees vary by season and special programs, and the museum maintains a range of ticket types. The institution provides accessible facilities and services for visitors with disabilities and supports scholarly access through conservation, exhibitions and public programs.
