Morgan Library & Museum

New York's essential stop for early books. The Morgan owns three Gutenberg Bibles, more than any other institution in the world, one on vellum and two on paper, which makes it the best place to understand that no two copies of that book are quite alike. The three are not kept on show together, so treat a visit as part of a wider look at Pierpont Morgan's library and its exhibitions rather than a guaranteed sighting. Check what is on display before you go if the Bible is the reason for the trip.
