The History Of Storytelling Explored
By Karl Pass - January 30, 2026
The Morgan Library and Museum will present Come Together: 3,000 Years of Stories and Storytelling, an exhibition exploring the rich history of storytelling through remarkable objects from the Morgans collection alongside some exceptional loans. On view from Friday, Jan. 30, through Sunday, May 3, the exhibition unites modern and historical works, often in compelling juxtapositions, to underscore conceptual, thematic, and visual links between them. It highlights a variety of narratives, from the Babylonian Epic of Atrahasis, among the earliest literary works preserved in written form, and the oral traditions of the first storytellers of North America, the Indigenous peoples, to works by writers and artists inspired by New York City. Showcasing more than 140 objects from across the Morgans eight curatorial departments, Come Together includes drawings, paintings, photographs, printed books, manuscripts, films, artifacts, comics, and more.
