Virtual Reading a Building: Mr. Morgan and His Library

Description

Experience our iconic architecture and history program live on Zoom!

Students will practice visual literacy by learning to “read” architecture as a primary source. Participants will develop a character portrait of J. Pierpont Morgan by looking at his magnificent Gilded Age library.

Offered At

The Morgan Library & Museum

School programs at the Morgan Library & Museum offer students an opportunity to look closely, ask questions, make meaning, and find personal relevance in a wide range of objects. The Morgan’s collections and exhibitions highlight the creative process throughout history and include ancient Mesopotamian cylinder seals and tablets, medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts, rare printed books and bindings, and a large collection of Renaissance to contemporary drawings. The range of the Morgan’s world-renowned literary and art collections support and supplement K-12 classroom curricula.

Please note that for in-person field trips, we limit groups to 15 for a more interactive and intimate experience. We can accommodate no more than 4 groups, or 60 students, at one time in our historic library.
