Find the book room and be transported to a scene from Harry Potter. In this dimly-lit space, rare collection of literature and historical elements are on display. Upon exiting, be sure to look up at the domed ceiling covered with paintings comparable to the works in cathedrals in Italy. Take the glass-elevator to the upper levels for an aerial view of the main floor and cafe. Currently on view are works by Rick Barton. Utilizing only pen and ink, Barton produced artwork that may appear underwhelming at first glance to some. However, it’s more fascinating viewing his work from the lens of his reality. The exhibit does not disappoint. In another section of the museum on the upper floor, learn about JP Morgan and the design process of the Morgan Museum and Library building. Letters exchanged between Morgan and the architects, as well as floor plans, and structural designs and notes make you appreciate the surroundings that much more. Also, be sure to visit the outdoor garden—modest yet enjoyable, especially on a pleasant day. Reserve tickets in advance, and perhaps take advantage of Free Fridays is you can. *Make note: this is not a lending library and compared to other museums in the city, the exhibits here are significantly smaller

I cannot say enough good things about this museum. It is beautiful. It has so many treasures in it, I feel like I could have spent an entire day in the library just looking at what books were hidden on the shelves. The cafe was great, the exhibits we're really well put together. All around amazing experience, 12/10 would do again. And, on top of all that, it's free on Fridays if you get the tickets the Friday before! Even better that we had a whole afternoon of culture AND we didn't have to pay for it.

I passed by the building and was determined to eventually visit the Library and Museum. The architecture and design of the museum are remarkable, a testament to the gilded age of NYC. The collections themselves are so vast that the curators can even plan an exhibit on medieval economics! Of course, the studio and reading rooms hold some of the most valuable pieces. Entrance is free on Wednesday evenings. Loved it!

A little gem of a museum in New York. Yes, it is very small but, for its size, it sure has some pieces that are worth seeing: 3 Gutenberg Bibles, a piece of wood, supposedly from the cross of Christ, and Mesopotamian cylinder seals dating around 5000 years back, amongst others. Pretty impressive for such a small place. Beautiful building with rooms full of books that take to other times, as if you were in a movie. Great architectural combination of modern and historic ambiance.

The library itself is beautiful and free for visiting but if you want to see the exhibitions you have to pay $22 for just for a couple of rooms with a few works of art. Definitely not worth it as the most interesting things in the place are, of course, the books, including one of the surviving copies of the Gutenberg Bible, among other rarities. But what I disliked most was the rudeness and unfriendliness of the staff, with a few exceptions. The guy and the girl in the upstairs room clearly sent the message that they were hating their jobs and would prefer being elsewhere. I wonder why don’t they just quit and find a better place to work. As a paying visitor I felt very uncomfortable to be shouted out of the place minutes before the closing time.

This is a fantastic museum, with a wonderful collections. The JP Morgan library was spectacular, as were the Holbein and Guthrie exhibits, both unique and special in their own right. What a treasure to have such a brilliant museum in the city, not too big and not too small. Completed our time there at a nice pace in 2 hrs.

There wasn't a lot to see. I came thinking there would be more ancient books to view and more corridors to explore. But it seems it was only a small building of JP Morgan's treasures. Definitely looks bigger from the outside. I did enjoy my time there. The halls were gorgeous. and the libraries filled with all types of bibles, fairytales, history, and self improvement books etc. There were a few exhibitions of artists. might be worth going if you're a fan of them. totally forgot their names now. the botany room of books was very interesting.

A really beautiful and special spot! The library is gorgeous and the atmosphere is wonderful. There’s also a gift shop and a cafe where you can get a drink or a bite to eat. I definitely recommend trying to get the free entry on Fridays between 5 and 7 pm, otherwise it’s a pretty costly investment.

This place is so awe-inspiring! 🤩 The Morgan Library and Museum 🏛️ 🖼️ is such a beautiful place to explore. Walk around the amazing rooms filled with books, history, and art 🎨. They have some many books 📚 on display including one of the copies of the Gutenberg Bible. Free admission 🎟️ on Friday when booking a week in advance through their website. I wish I came here earlier!

This relatively small museum is one of Manhattan‘s gems. We went on the grand opening to celebrate the restoration of the small garden in front of the Museum’s original building. Pro tip: do not try too hard to coordinate your visit with the opening of the garden on Saturdays since it is very small and there is not really much to see. However, the museums interior has some beautiful galleries with curated exhibits in addition to JP Morgan’s personal collection of art and artifacts. There is a lovely gift shop with some interesting items for sale. There is also a nice café in the central indoor courtyard if you need a coffee or a snack. The new portions of the museum are on several levels and there is elevator service for your convenience.

Not sure what I was expecting but seeing books from centuries ago was one of them. Didn't get that BUT I enjoyed myself. The Morgan's Bibles section was definitely my favorite. I did not get a chance to enter the seeds of knowledge exhibit (small space, lots of people). Went during their free Fridays.

The museum was nice. The rooms felt very grabbing and definitely brought you back. The little ornaments were cute and the marble and drawings on the ceilings were moving. It was a little small. I was expecting more exhibits and ability to spend some more time there. They should work on that. Still glad we came.

Great spot!! While many would consider this a small museum I was pleasantly surprised at how much there was to view. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful historical library but there are also many additional exhibits/galleries full of great stuff. One can easily spend a full day here (4-5 hours). I was there on a weekday (Wednesday) and I really enjoyed the how peaceful and relaxed the overall atmosphere was.

One of NYC's most overlooked museums The Morgan Library and Museum holds unique artifacts, many fine works of art, and rare books. The museum was once the house of wealthy and powerful Gilded Age banker JP Morgan. The museum displays parts of the mansion the way that JP Morgan left it. Like many Gilded Age mansions, it is both beautiful and ostentatious. The rooms are just striking. Most of the furniture in the rooms was left by JP Morgan. On top of this Morgan collected rare books including a Gutenberg Bible. The are also sketches from artists like Leonardo DaVinci and Rembrandt. Some of the more unique artifacts in the museum include cuneiform tablets, cylindrical seals, and illuminated biblical manuscripts. Considering that you get to see a classic Gilded Age mansion and fine works of antiquity the Morgan museum is a must see museum in NYC. The museum is located near Grand Central, so it is easy to find. Be sure to purchase tickets ahead of time. You will enjoy this fine museum.

A fantastical place to be. An absolute gem.  A museum that curates a library of rare and historical books and artifacts. You can just be there for hours just admiring and soaking in the classic ambiance. The museum has 3 main rooms surrounding the rotunda, with Mr. Morgan's Library standing out head-and-shoulder.  This room has bookshelves spanning 3 stories tall, ornate murals on every inch of its wall and ceiling, stained glass, a fireplace, and the Stavelot Triptych - an altar that contains fragments of the True Cross (that Jesus was crucified on). There are other secondary galleries but nothing compare to the aforementioned main exhibit. There is a café with a seating area in open layout, 2 elevators with glass walls and doors, and urinals in the men's restroom sporting 3 different heights!. And while small, don't miss the garden outside adjacent 36th St. A pair of famous lioness statues situated on either side of the Library’s front steps.

A very exciting experience. The library will make your jaw drop with it's amazing collection of books. The artifacts in the museum (rooms) are truly precious. This has to be without fail on your sightseeing list.

Amazing Museum! And I was so excited to see one of the Gutenberg Bibles! They have 3 of them and one is always on exhibit. They have a beautiful transparent elevator and gift shop as well. Definitely a place to visit and embrace! Loved it so much! Entrance: $21 (but if you are from NY, you can pay whatever you want).

Belle da Costa Greene is the most phenomenal librarian in American history. And i say that because she ran the Morgan Library for >40 years, and she was a Black woman! She built (with Morgan’s coins!) one of the most important collections of rare books and manuscripts in the world. i mean, they have an original gutenberg bible! Go check out her collection 😉 and enjoy the stunning architecture of the building!

We loved the Morgan Library! The rooms were stunning and the exhibits, which are changed out regularly, were amazing. The other art exhibitions were interesting, but not the main reason we visited. There is a café should you need some sustenance. You can buy tickets online in advance, but as we had a fluid timetable for that day we just walked in and had no issues in getting tickets in person.

I loved this place. It’s a beautiful place where you can learn about Mr. Morgan and his passion for books, art and archeology. All support that he gave to find and keep priceless item and obviously his beautiful house. I recommend 100% this place.

Beautiful, historic museum built around the library of the legendary JP Morgan - to whom all New York museums owe a heavy debt. The library is beautifully preserved with rare volumes on display (and frequently rotated). The space also houses well curated exhibits that frequently do a deep-dive into an artist’s work. The gift store is not to be missed - yes it has the standard NYC museum nicknacks, but it has a whole range of items that are specific to the museum and its current (and past) showings.

Amazing space - the library is so interesting to explore, the temporary exhibitions are always interesting and the atrium space is so beautiful to just hang out there. Seems like there are Sunday classical music afternoons there now.

Most gorgeous, exquisite library ever visited.

O. M. G. This might be my favorite museum in NYC and that is really saying something. Incredible finds in books and art. It's a really easy day trip for a wonderful, historical adventure. I highly recommend visiting while the Holbein exhibit is there

This is magnificent design of the library, it is incredible. The ceiling, the art piece of the walls, the details of everything....it is the true artist interior design, in our modern day, it is rare to see this kind of interior design 😀

A gem of a museum. See how the top 1% of the top 1% lived. Great exhibition space, saw exhibits on Woody Guthrie and 16th century portrait painter Hans Holbein during our visit. Definitely worth visiting, especially if the temporary exhibits pique your interest.

If you’ve been to Europe and saw really fancy building there then this will disappoint you like it disappointed me. Same for the collection. Not worth the admission price at all, and definitely not worth your time as a visitor to a large city with many other things to do. Also, very little historical significance.

The building has a wealth of beauty in and of itself and the beautiful artifacts and art within serves to doubly amplify the collection housed here. In the Morgan Library section there is absolutely no place the eyes can look without seeing additional details and artistic care. Even the protective cases for the books have delicate flowers on them. There was also a wonderfully bright atrium prior to the entrance into the library which serves as a wonderful place to rest, breathe, and relax with a drink. On the day I visited a jazz band was also playing in the atrium which was a delightful addition. I enjoyed exploring the library, the galleries, and generally the entire facility. I would highly recommend it. Additionally, they have free entrance after 5pm on Fridays.

The Morgan Library & Museum in New York City is a hidden gem for lovers of books, art, and history. Established by financier J.P. Morgan, this landmark venue showcases the extravagance and passion for collecting of its founder. The library houses an impressive assortment of rare manuscripts, first editions, historical documents, and artworks, all nestled within a building that is a masterpiece of architectural design in its own right. The ambiance of the library is unparalleled, transporting visitors back to a time of grandeur and intellectual pursuit. Its permanent exhibitions provide insight into the history of bookmaking and writing, while the rotating temporary exhibitions continuously introduce new themes and items of interest, ranging from Egyptian artifacts to contemporary art. Among the highlights of the library is its collection of illuminated medieval manuscripts, renowned for their artistic beauty and intricate detail. The library also boasts a significant collection of incunables and first editions of key literary works, reflecting the evolution of thought and literature through the centuries. In addition to its

This museum was such a cool visit. Honestly the exhibits here were different than the ones in other museums near by. I absolutely adored seeing the more wholesome art of the exhibit for Beatrix Potter. Although the highlight of this museum J. Pierpont Morgan's Library. Absolutely gorgeous and overwhelming with details. Highly recommend coming here.

The original McKim, Mead & White library building is a beaux-arts jewel, and one of the finest historical interiors in New York City... live out your inner robber baron bibliophiliac fantasy here. Sadly, the 15 year old Renzo Piano addition is beginning to show it’s age, but it does an excellent job pulling the entire museum complex together, and it houses a noteworthy, subterranean performance hall. The cafe is currently closed due to the pandemic. The size of the assorted galleries is perfect for perusing - in their entirety - in one afternoon. Exhibitions are typically excellent. Also recommended is the gift shop. It’s spread across two, main floor rooms of an intact 19th century brownstone.

The Morgan Library & Museum was a wonderful experience for my husband and I. We spent so much time here that our plans overlapped but it was so worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed the collections and exhibitions as there was so much to see and feel. Take your time exploring this place!

Very interesting space. Every room feels uniquely different. Cafe space is wonderful, a lot of natural light, live music, very tasty treats. There are some amazing artifacts in there, like a Gutenberg Bible and 2k year old Mesopotamian statue. Slightly creepy vibes, don’t forget to look up.

Originally John Pierpont Morgan’s personal library, the Morgan Library and Museum is a hidden gem that, in my opinion, is overlooked by both tourists and locals. The Historic Library (aka The East Room) is impressive - photos do not do it justice. If you have the time, I would recommend that you look at the books in the display cases in this room as I noticed quite a few tourists come in, take photos of the room, and leave. At the very least, take a look at the book on the right as you enter - it is one of the three Gutenburg bibles owned by the Morgan Library. The Study and the Librarian’s Office are also opulent, but not on par with the Historic Library. The office displayed a small exhibition of cylinder seals from the Middle-east as well as medieval jewelry from Europe. The room was once the domain of Belle da Costa Greene, JP Morgan’s private librarian. You may want to learn more about her on the Morgan Library website as her story is pretty fascinating. There are also numerous galleries that host rotating exhibits - the one on the second floor is called “Medieval Money, Merchants, and Morality” - a small, but fascinating look at the Medieval view of money and morality through the lens of books and paintings from that era. In the atrium, there is also a café that was bustling with visitors by lunch time - I think the food is on the expensive side, but the wine list is surprisingly good for a museum café. The museum costs $22 for adults and entry is timed. Online tickets cost $25.50 for adults because it includes a ticketing fee. The fee is about the same as most NYC museums of similar size. Nonetheless, if you want to enter for free, you can stop by on Tuesdays or Sundays from 3 PM - 5 PM - reservations are not required. You can also enter for free from 5 PM - 7 PM on Fridays, but reservations are required via their website. Lastly, if you want to take photos of the historic library without other people, get an online ticket for 10:30 AM, arrive by 10:15 AM, stand in line, and walk to the historic library as soon as the doors open. A lot of people will purchase tickets at the door and will begin with the first floor galleries, the office, or the study. If you go to the library first when the doors open, there’s a good chance that you will have the room to yourself for a few minutes or more. After you take your photos, you can take your time through all the exhibits.

Amazing fun and interesting

The museum was beautiful especially the Library. Would recommend to anyone interested in history & definitely photography

Nice architecture but otherwise not much to see. It’s also very busy for such a small space and filled with tourists. Might be nicer to visit on a weekday.

Its a beautiful library full of charm!! A must when you visit NY, as by now, they are renewing their gardens, but still a beautiful place, just book in advance, otherwise you won’t be admitted. Staff is really friendly, and its wheelchair accesible. Now, the cafeteria is not working but their store is!! I saw a copy of the Origin of species which blow up my mind!!🤯

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!

COVID has the crowds down. I was often the only visitor in a room (staff also present). It does add an intimacy to the visit. Smaller exhibitions did have signs to limit occupancy and maintain social distance.

Very enjoyable time! Lots of content, art, exhibits. It would take a long time to read everything. It was interesting reading about how the library and museum came to be and learning about the Morgan family.

A dream come true to visit here!!!! Like the library scene in beauty and the beast. Friday afternoons are general free admission. They kick you out at 4:55pm so take your pictures before then, and be ready to be a little crowded. There’s live music sometimes at the entrance.

Stunning library and couple more halls with art. The collection of books was pretty fascinating, such attention to details, far from our current ereaders. Not sure if it’s worth the entrance price, but was a bit different than other museums.

It is beautiful. Quiet and a nice place to take a morning stroll. We were in there for roughly two to three hours before we started running out of exhibits to look at. The general admissions ticket does not include everything they have to offer.

Visited twice within the last 2 months -- first to see the Gwendolyn Brooks exhibit and a few days ago I went in to see the Woody Guthrie exhibit. Both are great though I wish the Brooks exhibit had more items to display. Also there's a cafeteria, sitting areas and the staff are helpful. $22 for adult and special price for seniors and students.

It has to been seen to be believed. The mix of the gilded age with modern elements like the lead-free glass elevator strike a sumptuous balance. Morgan Library is a worthy stop for any bibliophile, history buff and Harry Potter fan. Check the site for Free Friday admission. These tickets are available but must be booked in advance - they sell out fast!

Beautiful architecture and a truly impressive collections. Some remarkable gems in there - and of course the Gutenberg bibles. On Sunday they have live music in the atrium from 1-3pm. A nice spot to listen to some classical background music while you read.

A truly amazing collection of items from around the world. I am glad that this collection has been made public for everyone to enjoy. The library is truly spectacular and although large, feels cozy and welcoming. My favorite part were the cylinder seals because I have not seen pieces like these before and I found the tiny wild boars very cute.

I was nothing but impressed with every room we entered in the museum. Each, a unique experience showcasing books and art. The library itself is breathtaking. In each room just remember to look up, the architecture and thought that goes into every aspect of this building is a joy.

Amazing library and museum. The interior is beautiful, something catches your eye anywhere you look. This is a must visit for any book lovers. The place is very intimate, and you can feel that it started as a private library. There is a cosy and warm atmosphere and beautiful renaissance designs in the walls and ceilings. The collection is also very interesting. I would recommend booking free tickets on Friday nights.

Visited the JP Morgan Library in NYC - a treasure trove of history and art. The collection is impressive, with rare books and manuscripts. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates culture and history. A truly enriching experience.

As beautiful as it gets. This should be a mandatory place to visit in NYC, specially for those who have been in the city before. Consider that the museum offer free entrance on their website at specific times.

Please go to to gem! Great indoors plan for winter or rainy days

Wow what a makeover . I remember 1978 when it was a wee little home modestly supplied with world riches owned by J.P. Morgan . What a celebration . Go see .

I recently started a consulting business. Walking through JP Morgans library gave me the motivation to pull an allnighter to get an additional 15 leads for my business. I still feel poor AF compared to him, but maybe one day I'll own a library like his. Walking through the library made my jaw drop and completely astonished. The company does an amazing job preserving the content and his books. The only aspect that was missing was ....they didn't mention that he made his wealth from slavery. When they add it, I'll give them another star. Also, dont go at 6. They close at 7, and the time flies by quickly....i couldn't even sip some JP Morgan wine.

The library is something Belle would envy. Great staff. My wife lost a necklace but an employee at the coat check found it and held on to it for a friend to pick up. Very thankful and impressed.

Lots of space but only a few small exhibits. I was honestly expecting more for the $25 online ticket price, but it was still interesting. Staff is very warm and helpful, and the library, while smaller than it looks in photos, is still a very special place.

A little expensive but super cool. The upstairs drawings were the icing on top. The audio guide was a good addition for more details and where the hidden stairs are.

His library is one of the best museum rooms in NYC. Terrific Hockney exhibit until May 30th 2021. The staff has managed access, spacing, and movement carefully and well. Always a great visit.

The Morgan Library is a true cultural gem in Murray Hill. From its historic roots, to its collection, to its dedication to architecture shown through its thoughtful addition, it is a must see for any New Yorker or person visiting with an interest in either the collection or experiencing architecture. The staff is friendly and their is a cafe to grab a quick bite as needed. Having a chance to experience the historic rooms of the library will leave a lasting impression on the visitors!

A real gem that far too few folks know about, whether they're visiting or are natives to the city. A must-see on a regular basis for their exhibitions but also for the architecture. Oh, that reading room!!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, must see for lovers of books and history. (Original) Hermoso lugar, visita obligada para los amantes de los libros y la historia.

Nice but not worth $22 more like $10 (small)

It's a cool scope to look at

Wonderful place. Gorgeous Exhibits. Love it!

(Translated by Google) It's less fun than I thought. (Original) 생각보다 재미없네요.

A winner. Lovely small museum.

I enjoyed seeing the art works on display and staff was friendly.

One of the true gems of American museums. Every visit is challenging and delightful.

Very nice of you like the specific niche galleries on display, but otherwise very small.

Museum is incredible. Artworks are diverse and interesting throughout. The two story library rooms are incredible. Having a construction background the carpentry is impeccable in the library rooms

Its ok

Amazing rare book collection

Nice place.

The library itself is very impressive. If you're into old books and a late 19th century billionaire aesthetic you would love this place. The surrounding galleries weren't too impressive for me, but that's subjective. Would recommend this museum if you want to kill a couple of hours on a weekend this will be perfect

Beautiful building. Well curated temporary exhibitions.

I went to see The Little Prince, but Morgan is no longer displaying the original. I was a little disappointed and sad that I couldn't see The Little Prince. I had to make an additional reservation to see the exhibits on the third floor, but I didn't know it, so I could only look around from the basement to the second floor.

Outstanding

Very interesting, although expensive for a small exhibition.

Great museum in New York not very big but great place to go. If you love art and history is a must.

It's a nice place but the ticket is a but pricey but otherwise it was a nice experience

Beautiful space, pleasant and uncrowded with timed tickets in advance for the David Hockney portrait exhibit. Also: bright, clean ♿ wheelchair-accessible restrooms!

Gorgeous library, the walls, the flooring, and the exhibits make it a nice walk through art and culture.

My fav place to rest my mind.

Exceptional collection plus stimulating special exhibitions, this mini-jewel enhances the NYC art scene in its unique intimacy. Particularly welcoming for mobility disabilities because of its small physical scale. But it’s art ambition is grand.

I felt very privileged to be able to come here and look at the artwork and interior design. The rooms are gorgeous.

Love this museum. Always interesting! Check out the David Hockney exhibition there now!

Small museum with nice exhibits

Very cool building and nice artwork.

Colorful exhibition of creative artist David Hockney. It features portraits of himself and friends.

Such an incredible collection. Our visit was a lovely experience and I would definitely return for another visit on my next trip.

Increadable trip

Amazing Place. The quietest and peaceful place I ever Visited. Love NY

What a wonderful experience for those that love museums. The main library room and study look like the scene from beauty and the beast when Belle gets gifted the library. 😍😍 We went the last week of August of 2021. They required proof of vaccination and masks, but it didn't detract from the experience at all!! Apart from the main exhibit, there was another artist on display in an adjacent gallery. It was a beautiful gallery and was very enjoyable to walk.

A great little gem of a library. The books were very impressive. 4 stars vs 5 due to value of your dollar. Such a small place to pay $22 adult ticket. All without even a brochure with tidbits. Beautiful old world charm in the library.

Great historical place. Gives you insight of what type of person and interests JP Morgan had. I definitely recommend going and take your time looking through everything.

One of the best museum in the city. Beautiful architecture design by Rezno Piano Definitely recommend to visit!

Powerful and beautiful a must visit location in NYC. Historical information, art and fantastic food

Beautiful museum with lots of awesome old books and amazing ceiling.

A very nice musium with some old books, from around 400-1000 years ago. There is an old library there and antique artifacts. Overall, I really enjoyed the visit, though it is not very big, with only three floors with few rooms. A ticket cost 22 dollars for adults and it completed a nice final day of my two weeks stay in the US.

Gorgeous place, really shows that Morgan had way too much money.

The galleries are really great. There are artifacts from near-East antiquity, medieval and renaissance paintings, as well as books and letters from Bourbon France.

Overall an enjoyable experience. Plenty of people there but nothing too overwhelming. A bit on the pricey side for the number of exhibits open this week. The entire second floor is closed off.

So beautiful! The artisans were kept busy detailing the interiors, the trim and moulding. The grand finale was obviously Mr Morgan’s actual library that is jaw dropping. I don’t recommend eating at the Bistro. The food was very expensive for what you got and bland in flavor. There are plenty of nice restaurants in the area. The gift shop is full of fun items and books and is located in Mr Morgan’s actual house.

The library is stunning. Absolute shelf goals. Also there is currently a promotion running where between 5-7pm on Fridays, you can gain access via free admission! Nice if it works for your schedule, worth the admission cost if not. Very neat library and museum. A must on a book lover’s tour of the city.

The Morgan Library and Museum is really a stunning place to visit especially for any library and history nerds like I am. There were many cool exhibits to check out and it was nice because Friday evenings have free admissions - however, it was sooooooo incredibly crowded too that it was very difficult to move around or take everything in, to be honest I felt pretty claustrophobic at times. I look forward to going on a different day during my next NYC visit to enjoy my visit much more.

I just love this museum. The library brought tears to my partners eyes. I love the study. This is my 2nd time here. The first time I was alone (with the guard) and I really could imagine working in there and feel the man behind the desk. The extra exhibits were quite interesting as well and today they had some fantastic violin players. A great gem in this huge city.

Lovely collections but they should reconsider their very loud closing time bell, or at least warn patrons about it as it can be extremely upsetting to those with sensory issues. I overheard someone making this comment after the bell had already been quite a bit for someone I was with. Do not go in the hour before close if you have sensory issues.
