Want to learn about the famous industrialist J.P. Morgan in depth? Then get yourself over to the Morgan Library and Museum, located in the former home of John Pierpont Morgan. The recently renovated museum features his enormous art collection, but also showcases books, prints, and some ancient artifacts. Letters and documents are also on display, and the museum also holds special exhibitions of both historically and artistic relevance.
The facility also houses a theater showing a short film on the life and legacy of JP Morgan, and visitors can also enjoy themselves at the café and restaurant on the premises. There is a Gutenberg Bible on display, which alone is worth the $15 entrance fee. Go to Madison Avenue between 36th and 37th Street and learn about this amazing man and enjoy the artwork and other artifacts he collected throughout his lifetime.
