The Morgan Library is small but it has interesting sections. Like this ceiling.
The Tolkien exhibit was packed, a thirty-five-minute wait. Well worth it. Tolkien was an excellent painter and had a really good sense of design. He made suggested book covers for his books.
While there. I also visited Invention and Design: Early Italian Drawings. The drawing on the left is by Leonardo da Vinci.
Bought the book, It has all the exhibit pieces and more.
Nearby, the Consulate-General of Poland has some interesting stuff. The statue is Jan Karski, a Catholic member of the Polish Underground,who repeatedly risked his life and was imprisoned and tortured as he tried to inform the world about the Jewish genocide occurring in the Nazi concentration camps.
The Adventures of Robin Hood was an old favorite. Claude Rains is outstanding in it.
