Morgan Library - Leonardo De Vinci "Flight of Birds" & "The Face" PLUS "The Book of Mormon" - Sunday, November 17, 2013

We started off our Sunday afternoon visiting the Morgan Library.  It was only a few blocks walk from our hotel.  I had never visited this library.  This is/was J.P. Morgan and this was his home.  He seems to have been quite a fascinating man.  One of the things I Loved about the Morgan Library is the Vault which was Mr. Morgan's original library.  We saw the Leonardo De Vinci "Flight of Birds" exhibit. Also one of his drawings called "head of a young women" known as THE best painting ever.  Plus we saw the De Vinci "Treasures from the Biblioteca Reale. Here is one more link for The Vault

Here's a video about the history of the museum:

I also enjoyed the Bookermania room, with all the books that won the Man Booker annual award!

We had a light lunch at The Morgan before we started walked NY again. I even had a Brooklyn Beer!

The rest of the afternoon we walked around and made plans for our evening Musical
"The Book of Mormon" it was SO funny.  I give credit to the Mormon's as this spoof pokes a lot of fun  at the Mormon's!  The venue was the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, which was very nice.  We had wanted to see this musical for some time and it was worth the wait.
