For more than 125 years, the New York Public Library has collected and preserved the world’s knowledge. The Polonsky Exhibition of NYPL Treasures brings together some of the most extraordinary items from a collection of 56 million, inviting visitors to explore, be inspired, and create new knowledge for years to come.
Max Touhey photographed the exhibition and its architectural setting, capturing both the grandeur of the gallery and the intricate details of the treasures on display, helping to showcase the collection for the library’s opening and press coverage.
