morgan library

fkn love this place --- piles of real books, never mind babylonian cunieform, a mozart score, gutenberg bible, minature portraits of martin luther and his wife, houdon's cast of washington's face (1785) --- plus a spectacular 11th or 12th c reliquary with fragments of the True Cross --- the original mckim building is of course excellent

wonderful space --- i sure hope the construction next door does not shake it.
