Let the Metropolitan Museum's director, Thomas P. Campbell, act as
your personal guide to one of the world's most renowned and
encyclopaedic collections of art. Based on the museum's immensely
popular audio tour, this handy book provides fascinating guided
visits through the first and second floors of the museum, zeroing
in on about 50 masterpieces on each tour. Also provided is a
shorter itinerary of 'Visitor's Favourites'. Highlights include the
Temple of Dendur, from ancient Nubia, Egypt; an exquisitely
frescoed bedroom from Boscoreale, near Pompeii; majestic Assyrian
reliefs; Rembrandt's Aristotle with a Bust of Homer; armour from
both Europe and Asia; an exquisitely carved ivory pendant mask from
Benin, Africa; Emmanuel Leutze's Washington Crossing the Delaware;
Van Gogh's celebrated painting Wheat Field with Cypresses, and many
other works.
