Join the Young Patrons Circle in New York City for a guided visit of the exhibition Medieval Money, Merchants, and Morality followed by an optional dutch-treat lunch at the Morgan Cafe.

The exhibition charts the economic revolution that took place at the end of the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance. Trade was conducted on an unprecedented scale, banks were established, and coinage proliferated like never before. The widespread use of money in everyday life transformed every aspect of European society, including its values and culture.

Bringing together some of the most acclaimed manuscripts in the Morgan’s collection and other exceptional objects including a renaissance purse, a brass alms box, and a hoard of coins, this exhibition will explore the fate of the avaricious, attitudes towards the poor, contentious lending practices, and money management.

This event is complimentary for Young Patron members – contact Isabelle Le Normand at [email protected] to RSVP.
