A Gutenberg Bible Sits in a Free Fifth Avenue Room

The Treasures gallery inside the building at 476 Fifth Avenue holds a Gutenberg Bible, the original Winnie the Pooh stuffed animals, Ottoman illuminated manuscripts, Burmese palm leaf texts and an early print of the Declaration of Independence. All of it sits behind glass in a free room that anyone can walk into during open hours. Docent tours run through the day and explain what the cases only hint at, and the researcher study areas stay separate from the public route. Sunday hours run one to five, weekdays open at ten, with Tuesday and Wednesday nights until eight. The rating holds at 4.7 across more than eight thousand reviews.
