J.R.R. Tolkien Exhibit
Fans of J.R.R. Tolkien and his “Lord of the Rings” series will appreciate the opportunity to visit the Morgan Library’s exhibit, “Tolkien: Maker of Middle Earth.”
Now on display in the museum’s third floor gallery, this exhibit features the largest collection of Tolkien’s work and life. Featuring 115 manuscripts, watercolors, handwritten notes and drawings, this enchanting display offers a rare glimpse into the author’s writings.
“Tolkien’s Middle Earth speaks to so many of us because it is a complete world. It has geography, it has history, it has language,” says curator John McQuillen. “We are not reading isolated tales but a much richer and interwoven narrative.”
The museum also offers related activities such as mapmaking for children and a watercolor landscape painting class.
