The Morgan Library & Museum
225 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10016, USA
Italian Renaissance library turned museum, housing rare manuscripts and old master drawings.
This guide to the Morgan Library returns to the night of November 3, 1907, when J.P. Morgan summoned the city's trust company presidents to his newly built library, locked the doors, and pocketed the key. It traces the panic that brought them there, a collapsed scheme in the copper market, and the tense hours the bankers spent refusing to sign the pledge Morgan wanted from them. Listen for what the room around you looked like on a night that reshaped American finance.
