This lively personal tour takes the reader on a fascinating exploration of thirty-five of Europe's greatest smaller museums. None are national collections, but all, in their various ways, are glorious, containing some of the world's greatest art treasures. Most art lovers will be familiar with some of the collections; very few will know them all. From the Musée Marmottan in Paris to the Czartoryski Collection in Kraków, the Louisiana HumlebÃºk in Copenhagen to London's Dulwich Picture Gallery, little known treasure houses are uncovered alongside fresh evaluations of those that are better known. Organized by European country, the text is written with great wit and scholarship, describing collections that are royal and aristocratic, patrician and bourgeois, academic and university, artists' houses and museums or twentieth-century foundations.
