Awesome museum! I would certainly suggest starting with the exhibits downstairs, and the galleries upstairs first. These exhibits are very cool, but they aren’t the main attraction, which is why you’ll want to save the library/study for last. The library and study are truly stunning. I wish I had rooms like that in my house! I don’t really have much other advice for navigating the museum. However, I will say an early time slot might be better because it will be less crowded, enabling you to move freely throughout the exhibits. I definitely want to go back sometime soon!
Viewing the Morgan Library & Museum was incredibly satisfying after a year of no museum viewing. I used to visit a museum once a week in NYC so it was a perfect reintroduction. David Hockney drawings are so personal and intimate yet direct. Hockney's mother portraits were exceptional. It was a perfect day of art viewing with a great friend.
Great small museum to visit. Permanent exhibitions include many small artifacts and of course books and manuscripts. They also have special exhibition, currently David Hockney: drawing from life. Sometimes they have musicians playing. You can also take advantage of the free admission on Friday evenings.
Wonderful exhibition! The Morgen Library and Museum has so much to offer. It’s very interesting to check out and Fridays the admission is free. Definitely a hidden gem!
After a stressful interview the day prior, I decided to spend Christmas Eve morning at The Morgan Library and Museum. I arrived there at 10:45am and the museum was empty. They offered free admission that day. Since I didn't get to see the library the last time I was here, I asked the front desk to point me to that direction. You know the scene where Belle in Beauty and the Beast is twirling around in the library. I felt like doing that however there was a stern guard in the room. I was in there for an hour. It was a perfect morning. It was like I had the museum all to myself. I walked around and I only heard my own footsteps.
