The Reborn Morgan Library

[Dave Monroe]

The Morgan Library & Museum, in New York
City--recently reopened after a $106-million
renovation--has always been the museum to visit if you
lust after books.

[...]

... the museum has made sure to include lots of
technology of the here and now. The Medieval and
Renaissance manuscripts are in a suitably dark room,
but the clean well-lit place for the more modern
literary manuscripts and scores upstairs may attract a
younger generation of visitors—particularly if the
collection of Thomas Pynchon’s letters is ever
displayed (and it won’t be during Pynchon’s lifetime).
 
The Morgan has developed an excellent website at
www.themorgan.org. It allows you to zoom through and
search the collection, and the museum now has several
computer stations that let you browse the website at
your leisure....
