MUSEUM

Morgan Library & Museum



Greeley Plaza is beginning to bloom.








The Morgan Library & Museum is one of the "little" jewels in New York.  We've walked past it many times since our arrival but never entered and visited.








A life mask of George Washington




One of the Morgan's THREE Gutenberg Bibles.




A manuscript by Beethoven.  Looks a little messy?!




A manuscript by Mozart.  Looks flawlessly perfect.



The most amazing things I saw, though, were the cylindrical seals from 4,000 years ago used to roll in soft clay or wax and "seal" a letter or an item.  They were amazing works of "reverse" art.

The Morgan is well worth a visit.
