In the century since its founding as a public institution, the Morgan’s collections have grown dramatically, deepening the core assembled by J. Pierpont Morgan and his librarian, Belle da Costa Greene, who became the first Director of the institution.

This exhibition examines the ways in which the artists, writers, and composers represented in the Morgan's collection used animals to think and create.
