The Fellows provide crucial operating support, allowing the Morgan to organize superb exhibitions, offer educational programs for audiences of all ages, and care for and make accessible one of the world's foremost collections of manuscripts, rare books, and art. Throughout the year, special programs, receptions, and other opportunities allow the Fellows to become better acquainted with one another, and with the Morgan. This distinguished group of patrons, collectors, and connoisseurs is integral to sustaining the Morgan as a museum and center for scholarly research.
