The Morgan Library & Museum Awarded $2.5 Million from the Lilly Endowment’s Religion and Cultural Institutions Initiative to Make Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the Collection Accessible to All Through Digitalization, Education, and Outreach   New York, NY (August 5, 2026) – The Morgan Library & Museum has received a $2.5 million grant from the Lilly Endowment's Religion and Cultural Institutions Initiative to support The Morgan Illuminated, a major project that will expand access to the Morgan's renowned collection of medieval and Renaissance religious manuscripts through a new digital portal, educational resources, and public programming. Hosted on the Morgan’s website, The Morgan Illuminated will provide free, cover-to-cover access to hundreds of the collection’s most significant illuminated manuscripts through a searchable digital portal, scheduled to launch in 2029. In addition to high-resolution images and robust search tools, the platform will feature educational resources and interpretive content exploring these manuscripts and the role of religion in shaping history, art, and culture. Through programming and research, which will launch prior to the digital portal, the project will also examine how the Morgan engages audiences with complex ideas related to religion and spirituality more broadly, encouraging dialogue and understanding about a variety of objects and related themes. #morganlibrarymuseum#fineartmagazineblog.blogspot.com #sunstormfineartmagazine.com#artfunlibrary#artfunhistory#artfunreading #artfunnow,=#artfunnyc
