Books Monthly
There's no doubt that Paris is brimming with some of the world's best art. But on a trip to the City of Light, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the options, get caught up in the queues and miss the backstreet gems.
Fear not—armed with this companion you'll easily navigate your way through the rich art history to the vibrant present scene, and have a ball doing so. Along with listings of the unmissable museums and galleries (where you'll appreciate the ancients through to the contemporaries), the guide includes more offbeat places to find public and private art all over town (from design hotels to auction houses, beautiful brasseries to artist studios).
You'll pick up insider tips from local and international professionals and find out where to take a sketch class, see live street art, buy an artwork, attend intriguing art events and meet the artists.
"A delight to browse through and ideal for planning day trip excursions throughout the complex and pervasive art scene that is Paris. Simply stated, planning a trip to Paris would be impressively enhanced by including a copy of The Art Lover's Guide to Paris as a guide." — Midwest Book Review
