Museums and Galleries of Paris

The museums and galleries of Paris are among the best and most visited in the world. This book reviews over 150 of them, from the biggest to the most bizarre, and is illustrated with hundreds of colour pictures showing the best of the priceless works on display. Each review ends with a handful of suggested bars and restaurants in the area, and the location of each museum is shown on a full-colour map. A series of introductory features provide additional background on how Paris came to be the repository of so many treasures through the centuries, bringing you right up to date with a survey of the contemporary art scene.
