Morgan library

In our frenetic contemporary landscape of innumerable hand-held devices, books — those leather-bound archives of paper pages — can bring us back to a calmer, more peaceful place. And, when used not only as reading material, but also as decorative objects in an interior, they cultivate an atmosphere of warmth and erudition.

Originally built as legendary banking tycoon J.P. Morgan's private library, it houses a preeminent collection of rare books, artwork, and illuminated manuscripts, such as three copies of the Gutenberg Bible, the first book ever to be printed on a movable type press in 1455. In addition to ongoing exhibitions of medieval and Renaissance artwork, contemporary artists like Matthew Barney have also shown their oeuvre in this majestic turn-of-the-century space.
