The last time I visited the Morgan Museum and Library was in October 2006 when it featured an exhibit of Bob Dylan's formative years. I came back 12 years later as Frankenstein was the featured exhibit since it is the 200th anniversary of the Mary Shelley book. It traces the origins and impact of her novel, which has been constantly reinterpreted in spinoffs, sequels, mashups, tributes, and parodies.
I attended a tour by a knowledgeable docent of the Library. She gave a description of the architecture of the museum, the library collection, and a biography of J.Pierpoint Morgan.
The other exhibits were:
- Jacobo da Pontoromo (1494-1557)
- Drawing in Tintoretto's Venice (1518-1594)
