The Morgan Library

It’s reopened—and it’s better than ever.

Last night I saw original music manuscripts by Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Schubert, Brahms, Schuman, Mahler, Weber…

And texts by Edgar Allan Poe, the Brontes (unbelievably tiny script), Byron, Mark Twain, Dickens… and something scribbled by Galileo.

In a word: thrilling.
