Morgan library

Manhattan's Charles McKim-designed Italian Renaissance-style Morgan Library (1906) - whose East Room features 30-foot-high triple-tiered shelves inlaid with Circassian walnut, a 16th century tapestry and decorative ceiling depicting Socrates, Galileo, Botticelli and Michelangelo, among others - holds volumes of European literature from the 16th through 20th centuries, not least of all medieval and Renaissance illuminated texts

Winter in New York City delivers the opportunity to visit your favorite sites at discounted prices, often with thinner crowds.

Originally built as legendary banking tycoon J.P. Morgan's private library, it houses a preeminent collection of rare books, artwork, and illuminated manuscripts, such as three copies of the Gutenberg Bible, the first book ever to be printed on a movable type press in 1455. In addition to ongoing exhibitions of medieval and Renaissance artwork, contemporary artists like Matthew Barney have also shown their oeuvre in this majestic turn-of-the-century space.

Fascinating culture, vibrant lifestyle, idyllic beaches, and lip-smacking food all make the Land of Smiles, Thailand, captivating.
