Review
Those who seek something off the beaten path in Paris need look no further: Rachel Kaplan has uncovered some 30 museums, ranging from the grand--Alexandre Dumas's Monte-Cristo Estate--to the quaint, such as the Fan Museum, which houses nearly 800 French fans. Of the Museum of the Institute of the Arab World, Kaplan remarks, "[it] contains a precious legacy which not only helps to illuminate the past, but also enhances our understanding of many current advances we may have come to take for granted. Its handsome and well-documented displays of sumptuous woven rugs and textiles, richly embroidered costumes, ceramics and scientific instruments, confirm that without the influence of Arabic art and science, the world as we know it today would be a very different place." With beautiful color photographs and affectionate commentary, Little-Known Museums in and Around Paris is the perfect tonic for travelers with the "been there, done that" blues. --Jhana Bach
From Library Journal
Kaplan's Paris guide is as quaint as the title: it has wonderful color illustrations that make perusing a joy, and it is written in an easy-to-read style that will make readers wish they were in Paris, if they don't already. The charming presentation masks in-depth data on 30 Parisian museums, including up-to-date, accurate information such as hours and telephone numbers and a useful map. A good choice for most large travel collections.
