The Morgan Library and Museum has received a $2.5 million grant from the Lilly Endowments Religion and Cultural Institutions Initiative to support The Morgan Illuminated, a major project that will expand access to the Morgans renowned collection of medieval and Renaissance religious manuscripts through a new digital portal, educational resources, and public programming. Hosted on the Morgans website, The Morgan Illuminated will provide free, cover-to-cover access to hundreds of the collections most significant illuminated manuscripts through a searchable digital portal, scheduled to launch in 2029. In addition to high-resolution images and robust search tools, the platform will feature educational resources and interpretive content exploring these manuscripts and the role of religion in shaping history, art, and culture. Through programming and research, which will launch prior to the digital portal, the project will also examine how the Morgan engages audiences with complex ideas related to religion and spirituality more broadly, encouraging dialogue and understanding about a variety of objects and related themes. The museum and research library in New York City was completed in 1906 as the private library of the banker J. P. Morgan. The institution is housed at 225 Madison Ave. in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. The library was made a public institution in 1924 by J. P. Morgans son John Pierpont Morgan Jr., in accordance with his fathers will. The Morgan Library was renamed the Morgan Library and Museum after the completion of a major expansion in 2006. Further renovations were completed in 2010 and 2022.
