The Morgan Library & Museum - Pierpont Morgan's Private Collection

The Morgan Library & Museum began as the private library of financier Pierpont Morgan, who assembled manuscripts, rare books, and drawings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Morgan's library and study were later opened to the public and the institution now operates as a museum and research library displaying his collections. The building and holdings are documented embodiments of Morgan's collecting and patronage of the arts.
