Books That Take You There: The Museum

By
One of my very favorite things to do is walk around a museum. There's something special about being surrounded by paintings, sculptures, and objects and just getting to wander and take it all in. There are some amazing local museums, including our own Nelson Attic, but if you want to recreate the experience of visiting a museum from the comfort of your own bedroom -- here are some books that will take you there. Mona Lisa and the Others Written by Alice Harman Illustrated by Quentin Blake London: Thames & Hudson, 2023. Informational. 95 pgs. If you're going to visit a museum from your bedroom, you might as well start with the most famous museum in the world -- and home to Da Vinci's Mona Lisa -- Paris' Louvre Museum.

The result is an engaging book with lots of facts and crisp reproductions
