Having seen this special exhibition 🌟 at the Morgan Library, I cannot recommend it enough! Bella da Costa Greene truly was a remarkable historical figure
@shannonmattern.bsky.socialNice capsule biography of Belle da Costa Greene, occasioned by the ✨ exhibition at the Morgan Library. When I taught my knwldg infrastructures class at TNS, we’d spend a day @ the Morgan (for the cylinder seals!) + NYPL underground stacks; svrl students over the yrs focused their projects on Greene!
