Located in the heart of New York City, the Morgan Library & Museum began as the personal library of financier, collector, and cultural benefactor, Pierpont Morgan. As early as 1890, Morgan had begun to assemble a collection of illuminated manuscripts, literary and historical early printed books, as well as old master drawings and prints.
Over the years—through purchases and generous gifts—The Morgan has continued to acquire rare materials, as well as important music manuscripts, early children's books, Americana, photos and materials from the twentieth century.
