"Great Museum and wonderful companion book" according to Bobby D.. We went to Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art the end of September of this year. We were really blown away by the architecture and setting for this new Museum. But it's collection takes center stage as it features American Art from Colonial times to the most modern. Unlike a lot of Art Museums this collection is focused and does not overwhelm and luckily this "coffee table" book features most of the collection. I only wish it h. Large, well-organized, and high quality book This book was a gift for a fan of the museum.It included all of her favorite pieces, as well as interesting, comprehensive details about each.Next time she visits, she'll have tons of fun and fascinating facts about the art on display.The book is well organized and can serve as both an in-depth resource and for quick, coffee table page-throughs.It is a large, thick volume, printed on high quality paper.I ordered sight unseen, and w. great format pentopmax I visited Crystal Bridges and did not buy the book but regretted it when I got home.So I just had to order it and I am so glad I did.Great format. Every photo in color and on the opposing side was a great narrativeabout the painting.
