Renzo Piano in conversation with Colin B. Bailey
Friday Evening, April 15–Sunday, April 17, 2016 the Morgan celebrated with free general admission for all visitors. Thank you so much for joining us.
Highlights reel:
The party started! The weekend kicked off on Friday with a 10th Anniversary salute in Gilbert Court featuring Morgan Director Colin B. Bailey, Board President Lawrence R. Ricciardi, and former director, Charles E. Pierce, Jr.
We broke a record! On Saturday, you helped us break the one-day attendance record.
The kids had fun, too! On Sunday, the festive Spring Family Fair treated children to a free afternoon of crafts, theater, and activities. Andy Warhol and Richard Wagner-themed treats and art projects were particularly popular.
The music played on! Mannes School musicians performed classical and jazz selections throughout the weekend in Gilbert Court.
Everyone got social! Hundreds of photos were posted to Instagram by visitors with the tag #MorganLibrary as part of the 10th Anniversary Instagram contest.
New York was abuzz! The New York Times, New York Observer, WNYC Arts, AM New York, and others chimed in to report on the festivities.
Continue the celebration! Give $10 to the Annual Fund in honor of the 10th Anniversary and help us keep the Morgan's treasures available to everyone who visits each day.
