The Morgan Library on Pinterest
The Morgan Library & Museum's Pinterest: 16,000 pins of drawings, from 18th-century botanicals to perspective studies, watercolors and food in art.
What it is
This is the official Pinterest account of The Morgan Library & Museum in New York. As the profile puts it, it began as Pierpont Morgan's private collection and today serves as a museum, research center and architectural landmark. When we checked, it had about 34,000 followers, 86 boards and more than 16,000 pins.
Why we picked it
The Morgan is known for drawings, manuscripts and rare books, and its Pinterest shows that side of the collection generously. The biggest board, "Botanical," holds over 1,100 plant drawings: Jacob Marrel's tulip, Georg Dionysius Ehret's studies from the 1760s, Alida Withoos's nasturtium, Guilliam de Heer's datura with butterflies. Each pin names the artist and date and links to the drawing's page on the museum site.
Other boards follow a mood or subject: "That's Deep; Perspective Drawings" with 1,600 pins, "Let's Eat!" for food in art, "April Showers Brings Watercolors," "Something Spooky" for Halloween season and "Winter Vibes." There are even color boards: green, yellow and orange, and purple.
