A portrait of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and its treasures by a former New Yorker staffer who spent a decade as a museum guard.
What The Reviewers Say
Exquisite.
In the pantheon of winning books about the Met, it is right up there.
An empathic chronicle of one museum, the works collected there and the people who keep it running — all recounted by an especially patient observer..
Graced with a list of all the artworks he was enraptured by and an excellent bibliography, this is a profound homage to the marvels of a world-class museum and a radiant chronicle of grief, perception, and a renewed embrace of life..
