Discover how stories have been created and shared over thousands of years! Students will visit J. Pierpont Morgan’s historic 1906 library and our special exhibition “Come Together: 3,000 Years of Stories and Storytelling” on this inquiry-driven, multimodal tour. Through close looking at art and artifacts, participants will investigate the ancient tradition of storytelling.
School programs at the Morgan Library & Museum offer students an opportunity to look closely, ask questions, make meaning, and find personal relevance in a wide range of objects. The Morgan’s collections and exhibitions highlight the creative process throughout history and include ancient Mesopotamian cylinder seals and tablets, medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts, rare printed books and bindings, and a large collection of Renaissance to contemporary drawings. The range of the Morgan’s world-renowned literary and art collections support and supplement K-12 classroom curricula.
