    I guess most of its fans know it for its collection rather than its museum. From the wikipedia page:

    The Morgan Library & Museum has long contained a collection of illuminated manuscripts,[230] which date from the sixth to sixteenth centuries.[118][146][231] As early as 1923, the Morgan Library counted 560 illuminated manuscripts in its collection,[232] a number that had grown to over 1,100 by the 21st century.[231]
