Editorial Reviews: WITH SOME OF the finest collections in the world, London's museums and galleries alone are worthy of a trip of England's capital. With the expertise of several art historians, this book offers just the sort of insider knowledge of the art, as well as the buildings that house it, that allow insight into the broad history of a collection. With new listings of acclaimed commercial galleries and reviews of museum restaurants some of which have become destinations in their own right, this is the perfect guide for anyone who desires a comprehensive understanding of a city's art.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A great resource Comment: Whether visiting London for your first time or you feel you know it very well, this is a brilliant starting point to determining which museums are worthy of your time. Blue Guide is easy to read and navigate. It's very objective in its presentation. It alphabetically lists museums and galleries from the world famous to small hidden treasures and describes them in very good detail, whether it takes one or twenty pages. If you only take one book to London, take this. The concierge and free (or cheap)resources available there (like Time Out magazine) can help you with shopping, navigating public transport, dining, performing arts, etc. It will not only help determine which museums, but you'll know which bits of the museums you'll most want to see.
