Synopsis
London has accessible collections on almost every conceivable subject. From art to sport to medicine to the city itself, and from the houses of the extremely rich to the schools of the extremely poor, the breadth of the material available to the public is staggering. Similarly varied are the varieties of curatorial approach, from the dusty, barely labeled displays of tradition to the relentless multi-media experiences of contemporary practice. This book describes, in all their glorious variety, some 70 of London's museums. From the internationally famousthe Victoria & Albert, the National Gallery, the Natural History Museumto the little-known and even the unfindablethe Guildhall Art Gallery, the Fan Museum, the Estorick Collectionthis book provides a critical account of the whole experience of the museum, from the exhibits to the cafe. A wide-ranging and opinionated handbook to all London's major and many of the minor collections. Covers more than 70 collections and provides full practical information. 50 b/w photographs.
