Oh! What a treasure. For an art history nerd, for sure.

I, who was brought to museums by my mother as a child and teenager (and still go with her in cities world-wide), who brought my children to museums around the world, and who loves to wander museums with the hubby LOVED this view of the Metropolitan Museum from the sidelines and behind-the-scenes view of the security guard.

Part memoir, part museum tour, part art lecture, part history lesson, part job description.

I listened to the author read so I missed all the links and pictures in the book; if you read the hard copy, find the entire catalog of works mentioned and follow along here.

Highly recommend. Five stars. Book Chicks loved it and really wanted to do a field trip to the Met …
