Pierpont Morgan Library
The Pierpont Morgan Library, originally the private library of J.P. Morgan, was converted to a public institution in 1924 as a memorial by his son, John Pierpont Morgan (1867-1943). The library contains many illuminated manuscripts, as well as authors' original manuscripts, including some by Dickens, Walter Scott, and Balzac. It also contains a large collection of incunabula, prints and drawings of several European artists, early printed Bibles, and many examples of fine bookbinding.
