I did a “literary” wandering Wednesday post awhile back that mentioned The Morgan Library, but I went back on this past trip because they had a very interesting exhibit that I wanted to see. My book club read The Personal Librarian a couple of years ago (highly recommend) about Belle da Costa Greene, the curator of J.P. Morgan’s personal library. and this year, as a celebration of the centennial of its being opened as a public institution, there is an entire exhibit dedicated to her. It’s such an interesting story in so many ways, that I won’t give away, but she was a force to be reckoned with when women were not in many positions of power.
But first, on the way there, I had to take a look at the stunning, perplexing, public art, Bruno Catalano’s The Travelers, on display along Park Avenue btwn 34th & 38th streets.
โ and that’s not all of them! Now on to a sneak peek at The Morgan Library exhibit.
Read, or listen to, the book, take a stroll along Park Avenue and check out this exhibit before they both close in early May.
You cannot direct the wind, but you can adjust the sails!
