Attractions in New York: The J. Pierpont Morgan Library garden 

The reconstruction work actually wants to try to maintain the original design of Renzo Piano. A blue slate route starting from the library floors and the exterior pavement, will be entirely available for visitors to walk on and follow. Out of all the New York attractions the J. Pierpont Morgans Library garden is a must see for plant lovers. In fact on the exterior near the library’s Loggia periwinkle flower beds were placed. They even made space for some Morgan family pieces, right now this space is not open to the public. Among this a roman sarcophagus, a Roman age funerary star and a series of renaissance shelves.
