Museum New York: A Guide

An opinionated and selective tour of around 70 museums, highlighting the fantastic diversity of the collections open to the public in the five boroughs. Subjects range from the internationally renowned (the Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney, etc) to the local (the African-American Wax & History Museum of Harlem) and the obscure (the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art). In New York there is an institution to cater for every conceivable interest and this guide is designed to help visitors head straight for the best, while New Yorkers will find reports of findings from many little-explored parts of town. 150 b/w photographs. About the Ellipsis New York Guides: Selective, opinionated, and packed with reasonably up-to-date information, these guides will be indispensable both for those in the know and those who know that's where they want to be. Each book features critical descriptions of the best, the most interesting and the exemplary, illustrated with specially commissioned photographs.
