“One of my favorite NYC places: the one-time private library of J.P. Morgan, tycoon + obsessive collector (I think of him every time I read Edith Wharton's THE CUSTOM OF THE COUNTRY; you can have a pretty mind-blowing time wandering through the cultural treasures in various NYC museums and noting just how many he donated). It reflects the work and vision of Belle da Costa Greene, librarian extraord”

“A lovely museum you can visit in less than an hour. Terrific small exhibitions and the lovely library never lets you down. Sometimes exactly what you need.”
