The New York Public Library is one of our great city’s greatest treasures.
Not content to be one of the most comprehensive lending libraries in the world, the Fifth Avenue building with the lions has also served as a museum — presenting such varied exhibits as A Dickens Christmas, Crusader: Martin Luther King Jr. , and Back Tomorrow: Frederico Garcia Lorca/Poet in New York.
And this Fall, The New York Public Library begins its first permanent exhibit highlighting its research collection. Everything from the original Winnie the Pooh to a 1789 copy of the Bill of Rights to the 1966 portrait of jazz great John Coltrane is on display at the new Polonsky exhibition.
