4 Passes to the Morgan Library & Museum and 1 Babar Drawing Catalogue
Family visit (four passes) to the Morgan Library & Museum and 1 copy of the It's Drawing Babar: Early Drafts and Watercolors catalogue
The Morgan Library & Museum began as the private library of financier Pierpont Morgan one of the preeminent collectors and cultural benefactors in the United States.
Designed by Charles McKim of the architectural firm McKim, Mead & White, the library was intended as something more than a repository of rare materials. Majestic in appearance yet intimate in scale, the structure was to reflect the nature and stature of its holdings. The result was an Italian Renaissance-style palazzo with three magnificent rooms epitomizing America's Age of Elegance.
Over the years—through purchases and generous gifts—The Morgan Library & Museum has continued to acquire rare materials as well as important music manuscripts, early children's books, Americana, and materials from the twentieth century.
Following a major expansion and renovation project designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano. The library now includes a new performance hall, a welcoming entrance on Madison Avenue, a new café and a new restaurant, a shop, a new reading room, and collections storage.
Jean de Brunhoff's Histoire de Babar Maquette This digital facsimile presents every page of a small, delicate maquette that Jean de Brunhoff created in 1930 or 1931 as he drafted the first book in the Babar series. The maquette, an extraordinary handmade booklet complete with cover and endpapers, text and illustrations, is the prototype for Histoire de Babar, le petit éléphat.
