I guess most of its fans know it for its collection rather than its museum. From the wikipedia page:
The Morgan Library & Museum has long contained a collection of illuminated manuscripts,[230] which date from the sixth to sixteenth centuries.[118][146][231] As early as 1923, the Morgan Library counted 560 illuminated manuscripts in its collection,[232] a number that had grown to over 1,100 by the 21st century.[231]

If you are ever in NYC and have time to check this place out …. don’t bother.
That picture looks great and is the entirety of what that “library’ has to offer. The whole place is a total nothing burger.

Yeah and that doesn’t change anything. Unless you are a researcher and get permission you are not going to interact with those manuscripts at all.
The place isn’t for sight seers.
