The Cambridge Guide to the Museums of Europe. This item is unavailable.The Cambridge Guide to the Museums of Europe

Lists addresses, telephone numbers, hours, and summaries of highlights for hundreds of European museums

Hudson, Europe's foremost museum consultant, and Nicholls, co-chairperson of the European Museum of the Year Award, offer information on a full range of European museums in this sequel to their Cam bridge Guide to the Museums of Britain and Ireland (LJ 6/15/87). Organized by country and city, the book provides concise information on locations, telephone numbers, hours, restrictions, and special collections of 1500 Western European museums, regardless of size or orientation. Symbols indicate available parking, handicapped facilities, restaurants, and more. While the brief entries do not do justice to such premier museums as the Louvre, the authors recognize that few tourists would miss these "flagship" institutions anyway. This easy-to-use guide will be of considerable interest to travelers, while librarians may find it a handy ready reference resource.
