Reviews
"This reference book is composed of signed, scholarly articles on selected art museums around the world. Each entry provides a brief history of the museum, its administrative structure and funding, a history of the development of the collection, and an analysis of the most significant works in the collection. The often lengthy articles are followed by selected bibliographies. This volume will be of great use to scholars for the valuable and frequently difficult to obtain information it provides, including facts about museum libraries and the availability of slides and photographs. Not only will it be a wonderful reference tool for researchers, but it also makes fascinating reading for the armchair traveler. Highly recommended."
