New York’s J. Pierpont Morgan Library Gets a Makeover

Here
is a story from the New York Times about changes at the Morgan Library. “For those accustomed to the neo-Renaissance grandeur of the Pierpont Morgan Library, the crisp new steel-and-glass-paneled building taking shape on East 37th Street may be a bit startling. But a year from now, when the Morgan reopens after a $102 million expansion and renovation, it will not only have undergone a physical metamorphosis; it is hoping that its public persona will have changed, too.”
