This fully updated and beautifully redesigned handbook is the essential guide to the encyclopaedic collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Divided into four sections (Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Contemporary), the handbook features more than 500 masterpieces from the museum's world-renowned collections, each beautifully illustrated in colour and accompanied by a brief text written by the museum's curators. Each section incorporates a wide variety of media, including paintings, works on paper, sculptures, decorative arts, costumes and textiles, arms and armour, and photographs. Detailed entries provide in-depth information on some of the most historically significant and beloved objects, such as a 16th-century Indian temple hall, Grace Kelly's wedding gown, and Marcel Duchamp's Etant donnés. Other passages discuss the contributions of several of the museum's most important donors, exploring the idea of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
