Morgan Library and Museum


I recently stopped by the Morgan Library and Museum to check out the newly renovated and reopened McKim building.  If you haven't been to the Morgan (or haven't been lately) now is the perfect time to visit.  The building is spectacular.  Every bookcase is filled with priceless treasures.  My favorite? A love letter handwritten by a young Queen Elizabeth I.  Talk about an amazing signature! Pictures of the renovation after the jump...

Though it may be hard to believe, these gorgeous photographs don't even do the renovation justice.  It simply has to be seen to be believed!  The Morgan Library and Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and Adult Admission is $12.  You may purchase tickets ahead of time by clicking here.
