The hour-long tour will be held at the Morgan Library & Museum and led by exhibition curator Philip Palmer, Robert H. Taylor Curator and Department Head of Literary and Historical Manuscripts. The exhibition traces Belle da Costa Greene’s storied life, from her roots in a predominantly Black community in Washington, D.C., to her distinguished career at the helm of one of the world’s great research libraries. Through extraordinary objects―from medieval manuscripts and rare printed books to archival records and portraits―the exhibition demonstrates the confidence and savvy Greene brought to her roles as librarian, scholar, curator, and cultural executive, and honor her enduring legacy. The tour will be capped at 20 participants and registration is limited to members of ARLIS/NA's New York Chapter. We will meet for the tour inside the Morgan in the JP Morgan Chase Lobby.
If you have any questions about the tour, feel free to reach out to Joey Vincennie, Programming Coordinator at vincennie@frick.org.
