THE MORGAN WELCOMES NEW YORK CITY SCHOOL KIDS WHOSE ILLUSTRATED MANUSCRIPTS ARE THE SUBJECT OF AN EXCITING MONTH-LONG EXHIBITION

Known for exhibiting book designs by artists ranging from the Master of Catherine of Cleves to Andy Warhol, the Morgan Library & Museum will now showcase extraordinary works by New York City public school students. The month-long exhibition Inspiring and Illuminating the Classroom, on view in the lobby of the Morgan's Gilbert Court, is the culmination of the Morgan Book Project, a unique collaboration between the Morgan and NYC Department of Education. Now in its ninth year, this free and innovative program guides third to twelfth grade students as they write, illustrate, and bind their own illuminated manuscripts throughout the school year.
