Mims Studios is pleased to report a major renovation of The Morgan Library & Museum, home to many excellent Master Drawing exhibitions. Following the 2006 additions which so tragically disfigured this Manhattan landmark building, it is reassuring to see the care and sensitivity that guided the recent undertaking. We are reminded that this architectural collaboration between Mr. Morgan and Mr. McKim in 1903, was to resurface a decade later with the successful development of the American Academy in Rome.
Director William M. Griswold explains, “The McKim building is the heart and soul of The Morgan Library & Museum. Not only does it embody the taste and vision of the museum’s founder and patron, Pierpont Morgan, but over the years its beautiful rooms have become synonymous with all that makes the Morgan special. No visit is complete without a tour of the McKim building, and now, with this ambitious project and the installation of some of the Morgan’s outstanding treasures, that experience will be greatly enhanced.”
