Madison Avenue entrance to the Morgan Library. Built: 2006. Architect: Renzo Piano. The entrance was added as part of an expansion project which integrated the three existing buildings on the Morgan's campus and added additional exhibition space. Renzo Piano's design brings together three existing buildings: 1.) The original library building built 1903-1906 ; Architect: Charles McKim of McKim, Meade & White; 2.) The Annex added 1928 on the site of J.P. Morgan's former residence ; Architect: Benjamin W. Morris; 3.) The J. P. Morgan, Jr. House, built in 1852 and later owned by the Lutheran Church in America. It was acquired by the Pierpont Morgan Library in 1988.

J.P. Morgan's library. One of a suite of three rooms in the original Morgan Library building, 33 East 36th Street. Built 1903-1906 ; Architect: Charles McKim of McKim, Meade & White.

The library opens off of the east side of the rotunda. This photograph shows the room's east wall, which is lined with wooden bookshelves holding volumes from Morgan's collection. The ceiling-high tiered shelving is broken by a massive Italian Renaissance fireplace. Above the fireplace hangs a 16th century Flemish tapestry depicting the Triumph of Avarice. Henry Siddons Mowbray created the murals which decorate the room's ceiling. Visible in this image are the lunettes and spandrels formed by the ceiling's groin vaults. The design of the spandrels was inspired by ornamentation Mowbray saw at the Villa Farnesina in Rome. The lunettes alternate between female muses and portraits of historical leaders.

Marble Hall, Morgan Library, 2009.

Following J.P. Morgan's death his home on the corner of Madison Avenue and E. 36th Street was razed and an addition to his library built on the site. Though the two buildings appeared to be separate they connected through a back corridor. Built: 1928; Architect: Benjamin W. Morris. The Marble Hall connects the East and West Galleries in Benjamin Morris's addition to the original Morgan Library building. Morris's Italian Renaissance-inspired building complements the classicism of the Morgan Library's original 1906 building. Key decorative features of the Marble Hall include the inlaid marble floor and the metalwork ceiling panels.
