Morgan After Hours: Summer Salon

Dear Gentle Reader,

You are cordially invited to the Summer Salon at the Morgan Library & Museum for an evening of live music, artmaking, drinks, art, and literature in all of the Morgan’s gilded age glamour.

This season, explore Regency and Victorian-era exhibitions A Lively Mind: Jane Austen at 250 and Arresting Beauty: Julia Margaret Cameron, as well as contemporary works by Lisa Yuskavage and myriad treasures in A Celebration: Acquisitions in Honor of the Morgan’s Centennial. Fill your dance card with Country Dance New York (no prior experience or partner needed), embrace your inner artist with drop-in silhouette cutting, promenade in the garden, and enjoy tea and treats at the café.

Morgan After Hours is open to all attendees ages 21 and up. Dress code: summertime chic optional.

Yours Truly,
The Morgan

English Country Dancing 6:30-7:30 & 7:45-8:40

English country dance is a social dance enjoyed by Jane Austen and now you! English dances and their tunes vary from elegant to energetic and from stately to boisterous, and you will experience all these facets while dancing to live music with Country Dance New York. No partner or prior experience needed. Note: We encourage soft soled shoes.
