The Morgan Library & Museum

J.P. Morgan's private library and residence, a sturdy three-story building with a basement. Mr. Morgan was a figure of the 1880s, and he himself was an internal medicine doctor; First, you enter the 'Seeds of Knowledge' exhibition hall, where these hand-drawn botanical manuscripts from European England🇬🇧, France🇫🇷, Germany🇩🇪 were the study🧐 of herbs🌿 by royal physicians and surgeons, internal and external. Thick volumes, all manuscripts, these doctors all had their own health plant gardens, called: Garden of Health, linking plant knowledge with biology. Mr. Morgan's study from over a hundred years ago, with its deep red walls, dim lighting, ancient murals, thick carpets, warm fireplace, high-hanging chandeliers, the study itself is like an art treasure, as if traveling back to the aristocratic families of over a hundred years ago. In books, one finds a golden house, room after room, large studies with smaller ones nested within, primarily featuring book manuscripts, tens of thousands of medieval book illustrations and manuscripts, and precious editions from the dawn of Western printing, including prints and sketch manuscripts by da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, as well as Beethoven's manuscripts. The library showcases Morgan's various collections, a large number of rare books, medieval and Renaissance artworks and illustrated manuscripts, like the three Gutenberg Bibles, which were the first books printed on the printing press in 1455. As chairman of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Morgan traveled to Egypt, the Middle East, and Greece, entering the hot desert🏜️, speculating that ancient Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Nile River basin had active trade, and Morgan was seeking business opportunities, his business acumen was strengthened. Learning is a lifelong process, had we known such a holy place, we would have headed straight here upon our early arrival in America
