Description
A beautiful, smart, entertaining new art book from New Yorker cartoonist and author Bob Eckstein that is a love letter to museums and museum-goers, filled with lush and whimsical illustrations paired with stories and anecdotes from curators, museum workers, museum visitors, and more.

Footnotes from the Most Fascinating Museums is a collection of the greatest and most beloved museums of North America, illustrated and explored through fun and fascinating anecdotes. Curated by Bob Eckstein, author of the New York Times bestseller Footnotes from the World's Greatest Bookstores, this delightful twist on an art history book shows these institutes in a way not seen before, illustrated in a lush and idealized style.

The 75+ museums featured include the biggest and boldest names (MoMA, the Whitney) and the more offbeat (Museum of Bad Art, the Museum of Jurassic Technology). They span the US, Canada, and Mexico and include those specializing in art, natural history, academia and science, and more. The 155 original pieces of artwork illustrate a story about the museum or showcase a particular work of art in its collection.

Featured museums include:
  • The Field Museum, Chicago
  • The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York
  • The Museum of Modern Art, New York
  • The Norman Rockwell Museum, Stockbridge, MA
  • The National Portrait Gallery, Washington DC
  • La Brea Tar Pits, Los Angeles
  • National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada
  • Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston
  • Museum of Motherhood, St. Petersburg, Florida
  • Chapultepec Castle, Mexico City, Mexico
  • American Museum of Natural History, New York
  • And many more

A perfect gift for artists, art lovers, students, travelers, and adventurers of all ages, this collection of funny, heartfelt, and quirky profiles is a thought-provoking, inspiring celebration of museums, why we go to them, and why we love them so much.
