Synopsis :

“A leisurely and edifying journey of discovery.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Why do people collect things? With vivid examples from all around the world, this wonderful book puts museums — and the many artifacts lovingly stored there — on display in a whole new light. Jan Mark’s humorous and conversational insights take readers through museums’ multifaceted history, while Richard Holland’s eye-catching mixed-media illustrations lend their own quirky flair. This ode to museums mighty and minuscule will draw curious viewers of all ages — and is worthy of collection itself.

À propos de l?auteur: Jan Mark was one of the most distinguished authors of books for young people, she twice won the Carnegie Medal.

Richard Holland is an illustrator who works with collage, and "enjoys the idea of collecting bits of paper and turning them into images." He lives in Essex, England.
