Where-To-Go Wednesday: Belle da Costa Greene Study

We received complimentary tickets to the Morgan Library & Museum. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own. 

What: Belle Da Costa Green Study

Where: Morgan Library & Museum

             225 Madison Ave.

             New York, NY

Who: All ages

Belle da Costa Greene was a librarian, bibliographer, and rare book expert who was the first director of the Morgan Library. She was the one who transferred Morgan's private collection into a major public research institution. 

Her namesake study at the museum is a small rotating display gallery dedicated to her life and career. While it does not have a permanent display, it features materials,  correspondence, and photos related to her life and work. Recently, a larger exhibit devoted specifically to her was located there, but it is no longer open, although some materials related to her remain on display.  Books and other objects related to the current museum exhibit are also often housed here.

The study contains three floors of books and is a good area for quiet research. However, there are not many seats as it is not really an area for public browsing. Therefore, it's best to check with the library as to hours, reservation requirements, and availability if you are interested in studying or researching here.

And that's our view. For more about the Morgan Library and/or the Belle da Costa Greene Study, visit www.themorgan.org.

Tune in tomorrow for Theater Thursday.
