Publisher's Synopsis
While the major American art museums boast record attendance in six and seven figures, there are hundreds of museums across the country with impressive collections, imaginative architecture, and creative programs that do not get the attention they deserve. This comprehensive resource guide to American art museums and galleries provides details about 1,680 famous and lesser-known venues, such as temporary exhibitions, number and size of galleries, attendance figures, and types of objects in permanent holdings. Illustrations of facilities and objects in the collections enable the art lover to plan more efficient trips and discover hidden treasures in an off-the-beaten-path venue.
