Features: The author, James Stoulton, is the Vice President of Sotheby's, the world's largest auction house. Due to his professional background, he frequently visits various museums in Europe, and this book is based on his travel experiences. However, in the book, he does not introduce the well-known major museums—such as the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, or the Old Munich Art Gallery—but rather focuses on more unique and lesser-known small museums that are primarily known to art connoisseurs. The book introduces 35 distinctive small museums from 12 European countries, accompanied by over 350 beautiful images and artworks. For each museum, the author not only introduces its great collections and the joy of viewing them but also tells the history of the museum's formation and anecdotes about its collectors. In short, this book is both a guide to small museums in Europe and a beautiful collection of Western masterpieces.
