Come Together Exhibition

The Morgan Library & Museum will present Come Together: 3,000 Years of Stories and Storytelling, an exhibition exploring the rich history of storytelling through remarkable objects from the Morgan’s collection alongside some exceptional loans. On view from January 30 through May 3, 2026, the exhibition unites modern and historical works, often in compelling juxtapositions, to underscore conceptual, thematic, and visual links between them. It highlights a variety of narratives, from the Babylonian Epic of Atrahasis—among the earliest literary works preserved in written form—and the oral traditions of the first storytellers of North America, the Indigenous peoples, to works by writers and artists inspired by New York City. Showcasing more than 140 objects from across the Morgan’s eight curatorial departments, Come Together includes drawings, paintings, photographs, printed books, manuscripts, films, artifacts, comics, and more.
