If you′ve always wanted to find out more about art but felt intimidated by the overeducated art world, then you′ve found the answer. Art For Dummies is the book that will have you and everyone you know clamoring outside the doors of your local museum. Thomas Hoving, former director of New York′s Metropolitan Museum of Art, is credited with revolutionizing the Met, doubling its size during his tenure, and bringing art to the masses. Let him bring art to you as well. In Art For Dummies , Thomas Hoving provides a how–to guide to the art world. First, he guides you through an introduction to art appreciation, pointing out the details that you′ve always noticed but have never been able to explain.

With this guide, you can discover where to go in order to see the greatest works of art, and you can also find out about hidden treasures in nearby art museums.
