This magnificent institution is a true testament to the power of art and literature and is one of the most unique and fascinating museums in the city.\n\nFounded by the financier Pierpont Morgan in 1906, the Morgan Library & Museum is a stunning combination of a private library, museum, and cultural center. The museum's vast collection includes rare books, manuscripts, drawings, prints, and other works of art that showcase the history of civilization from ancient times to the present day. From illuminated manuscripts and rare books to works by some of the world's most famous artists and writers, the Morgan has something for everyone to enjoy.\n\nRight in front of us, you'll see the grand entrance to this Beaux-Arts building, which was originally built as the private library of J.P. Morgan, one of America's most important financiers. As we step inside, we'll be transported to a world of illuminated manuscripts, rare books, and precious artifacts, showcasing the beauty and ingenuity of human creativity.\n\nOne of the unique features of the Morgan Library & Museum is its stunning original building, which is a beautiful example of neo-classical architecture. The library is renowned for its stunning reading room, which is lined with shelves filled with rare books and manuscripts, and its beautiful central court, which is surrounded by elegant columns and stained glass windows.\n\nIf your accommodation is in the city center or in one of the other districts, you will need to plan your route in advance and may need to take the subway. You can take the subway to Grand Central Station, 33rd Street Station or 34th Street-Herald Square Station, then complete an easy walk to the Morgan Library.\n\nThe cost to visit this place is $20, but trust me, it's well worth it. If you're a budget traveler you should visit the Morgan Library and Museum on Friday nights (7-9pm) when all are free to enter. The atmosphere at night is probably super cool too."},{"type":"audio","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FNYMgjohy1rltM3q9yHE7%2Fsynthesized_audio%20(5).mp3?alt=media&token=dfb2ad3f-a29f-43c0-be19-6d7d89017f4b"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FNYMgjohy1rltM3q9yHE7%2F10morgan-library-4-superJumbo.jpg?alt=media&token=04bb8021-e7f1-42d4-8eec-8e67a0345e19"},{"type":"img","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FNYMgjohy1rltM3q9yHE7%2FCopy%20of%20FreeGuides%20Experience%20Cover%20Template%20(2).png?alt=media&token=fb98f9d3-a53d-4dfe-9108-b98e6e2fb6ac"},{"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FNYMgjohy1rltM3q9yHE7%2FSnaptik.app_7030829713467723013.mp4?alt=media&token=06863419-c39d-4936-a837-f369be1bd78e"}]},{"address":"The Metropolitan Museum of Art","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":40.77890376369733,"longitude":-73.96272620000002},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# The Metropolitan Museum of Art"},{"type":"text","content":"Our next stop is the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
