The Morgan Library & Museum
A truly extravagant library in Midtown Manhattan, the Morgan (trite as it may sound) feels as if straight out of Harry Potter - more specifically, its towering stacks of books are reminiscent of Ollivander's wand shop. Elaborate tapestries and Persian carpets as well as a colossal fireplace make the space extremely sumptuous, while the exhibitions never cease to impress - expect showcases of John Singer Sargent charcoal portraits and Saint-Exupéry drawings.
