I was at the Morgan Library/Museum once many years and it was interesting!

Yea saw that. Oh well I'll have to wait then.

Yes, I've only visited twice over many years, but really enjoyed it.

The house that JP Morgan built is a great testament to the lifestyle that these people had. The massive collections of rare books and prints, and reverance and thirst for European culture.

It's a beautiful setting to take in drawings from all periods in history.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage: https://mjhnyc.org/

"It mobilizes memory to teach the dangers of intolerance and challenges visitors—including more than 60,000 schoolchildren a year—to let the painful lessons of the past guide them to envision a world worthy of their futures."

Learning about intolerance and bigotry is very important these days as the country is so polarized. People can learn about how these impact people and ultimately countries.

The Morgan is one of my favorite museums. The building itself is a museum piece. Check out the library circular staircase where if you speak, you can be heard in another part of the room.
