The Morgan Unveils Exterior Restoration Of J. Pierpont Morgans Library And Morgan Garden
August 05, 2022
The Morgan Library and Museum unveiled the recently restored exterior of J. Pierpont Morgans Library and the new Morgan Garden to the public. This six-year, $13 million project, the first comprehensive restoration of the landmark librarys exterior in its 115-year history, conserves one of the finest examples of Neoclassical architecture in the United States. It also enhances the surrounding grounds, improves the lighting of the building and enables public access to the 36th street site for the first time in the institutions history. Visitors to the Morgan will be able to experience the exterior of the library and enjoy the garden through tours offered every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday at 12:30 p.m., and during Saturdays in the Garden, when visitors with museum admission will be invited to relax and enjoy New York Citys newest greenspace throughout the day. To celebrate the completion of the restoration and the garden, the Morgan hosted a Garden Family Fair and Free Community Weekend. The garden will remain open seasonally through Sunday, Oct. 9. The Morgan Library and Museum is located at 225 Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. To learn more, visit www.themorgan.org.
