The wonder and beauty of nature, richly documented for over nearly a thousand years, is the subject of Picturing Natural History: Flora and Fauna in Drawings, Manuscripts, and Printed Books, the Morgan Library's first exhibition devoted to natural history illustration. Picturing Natural History is the last major exhibition before the Morgan closes to the public for approximately two years to undergo an extensive expansion project.

The Morgan Library announced today that it has acquired the manuscript and illustrations of The Story of Babar the Little Elephant by Jean de Brunhoff (1899–1937) and the illustrations for Babar's Cousin: That Rascal Arthur by Laurent de Brunhoff (b. 1925).
