This museum was fine for me since I live near New York City and have lots of time to visit the more minor museums in the area; however, it you are a first time visitor go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art first. I went to the Morgan because I teach art history and wanted to see the museums Near...

Visited the JP Morgan Library on a recent trip to NYC. What I discovered is while it is interesting to see JP's library with the many books and astonishing manuscripts, the library has been expanded by adding exhibits in other wings of the building. The problem I had was that the nature of the added exhibits was completely unrelated to...

The main attraction is the study and library of J P Morgan - which are, without a doubt, beautiful. The gift shop is fine. There isn't much else to see apart from these two rooms - the temporary exhibits are displayed without much enthusiasm and seem disparate from the rest of the building. If you have seen most of the...

My favorite place in NYC. Seeing the old part of the library is wonderful; I'm not as partial to the new additional, but the exhibits are excellent, as is the gift shop.

But if one has enough time to do/see all the more famous things in NYC, then the Morgan Library and Museum is a...

While you could spin through the exhibits in less than 1/2 hour, don't. Plan a leisurely 2 hours and have a meal in the excellent cafe (it's worth the slurge). The gift shop is one of the better ones in Manhattan.

High admission price relative to the collection on display (unless you like looking at rows of old books and a small number of historically interesting letters and other artifacts). My main criticism is that the staff -- and in particular the security staff -- is incredibly rude and disrespectful even by NYC standards. I would not make a return visit...
