New York's Most Beautiful Library

The Morgan Library & Museum in New York is truly a sight to behold. Yes, it's the same Morgan as in J.P. Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley! 🍃🌸 This library, which began construction in 1906, was originally Mr. Morgan's private collection. It's not just a repository of books; it's a cultural palace that embodies a century of elegance and profound heritage. 🏰✨ The Morgan family was one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the late 19th century, and this private library is itself a masterpiece of architecture. 🍃🌸 The opulent Italian Renaissance style, three-story walnut bookshelves seamlessly connecting with the dome, exquisite carvings, and luxurious chandeliers all contribute to its grandeur. The pièce de résistance is the ceiling, adorned with semi-circular ceiling paintings, each embellished with gold leaf and depicting a Muse. It's absolutely breathtaking! 🎨🌟 Address: 225 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016 Opening Hours: 🍃🌸 Tuesday to Thursday: 10:30 AM - 5:00 PM Friday: 10:30 AM - 7:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Sunday: 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM Closed on Mondays Ticket Prices: 🍃🌸 Adults: $25 (plus a $3.50 service fee if purchased online) Seniors (65 and above): $14 Students (with valid ID): $13 Members and children under 12 (accompanied by an adult): Free Free admission on Fridays from 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (reservation required via the official website) 🍃🌸 #MostBeautifulLibrary #MustVisitMuseum 🌇🌿
