Mission
The Morgan Library & Museum celebrates and shares the history and process of human creativity from antiquity to the present day through the preservation, study, and interpretation of a dynamic and growing collection.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Museum and independent research library (see Schedule O)located in the heart of New York City, the Morgan Library & Museum began as the personal library of financier, collector, and cultural benefactor J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913). The Morgan offers the public close encounters with great works of human accomplishment in a setting treasured for its intimate scale and historic significance. Its collections of manuscripts, rare books, music, drawings, and other works of art comprise a unique record of civilization, as well as an incomparable repository of ideas and the creative process.
-
Curatorial: The Morgan Library & Museum ("the Morgan") occupies a midtown Manhattan campus comprised of three landmarked buildings that are joined by pavilions constructed of steel-and-glass panels designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano. The Morgan houses one of the world's greatest collections of artistic, literary, musical, and historical works. Included in its holdings are original scores of Mozart and Beethoven, drawings by Rembrandt and Rubens, medieval and Renaissance works, three Gutenberg Bibles, literary manuscripts by Dickens and Twain, and five-thousand-year-old carvings from the countries of ancient Western Asia. The Morgan recorded 308,582 visitors over the fiscal year, primarily for a wide variety of changing exhibitions encompassing (continued on Schedule O)works from the Morgan's permanent collection and from other museums and libraries in the U.S. and abroad. Exhibitions during fiscal year 2025 included "Beatrix Potter: Drawn to Nature;" "Walton Ford: Animal Studies and Sketches;" "Belle da Costa Greene: A Librarian's Legacy; and "Franz Kafka." The Morgan's curators plan the exhibitions, oversee the permanent collection, prepare exhibition and collection-related catalogs, organize symposia, host graduate seminars, and provide research and other services to the scholarly community.The extraordinary group of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts; printed books and bindings; literary, historical, and music manuscripts; drawings and prints; and ancient cylinder seals that J. Pierpont Morgan brought together were among the first important collections of their kind in America and form what is today the core of the Morgan's holdings. (The collection now includes photography and modern and contemporary drawings as well.) In overall quality and importance, these collections are among the finest in the world, distinguished by the high percentage of items that are unique or exceptionally rare. One of only a handful of American institutions devoted to these specialized areas, the Morgan maintains an active acquisitions program and now holds several hundred thousand items in its collection.The Morgan's Drawing Institute is devoted to the interpretation, conservation, and theory of old master and modern drawing with the goal of stimulating new lines of investigation and discourse. The Drawing Institute supports research through annual fellowships; publications; small, focused exhibitions; and an ongoing series of symposia, seminars, and lectures.

Library and Museum Services: The Morgan Library & Museum is one of nineteen independent research libraries in the United States and, as such, makes its collections available to qualified researchers for study on-site in the Sherman Fairchild Reading Room and the Drawing Study Center. An online catalog of the collections is accessible at www.themorgan.org and assists researchers both on-and off-site. Active digitization and publication programs help to extend the reach of the Morgan's scholarly services and support study of the collections.The Morgan has had professional paper and book conservation facilities since the 1950s, when they were among the first such labs in the United States. The Morgan's conservation facilities (continued on Schedule O) were dramatically enhanced with the 2002 completion of the Thaw Conservation Center. The Morgan's conservators oversee the preservation of the collections and also undertake surveys and treatment projects of discrete collection areas. The collections consist almost entirely of works on paper and related porous supports (vellum, parchment, papyri), and the conservators have developed special expertise in the conservation, restoration, and repair of such objects. Both a working and teaching facility, the Thaw Center receives requests for assistance from institutions in the United States and abroad. It offers fellowships in conservation techniques and practices.

Online programs continued with 26 programs, attracting 2,547 attendees worldwide to short courses, lectures, and discussions. The Morgan's school programs offered both in-person and virtual activities, engaging 7,855 participants in K-12 student and teacher programs; 3,503 participants in family and 37 teen programs; and 322 college students, spanning diverse communities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
