Harrison House (Non-Fiction, Art) Metropolitan Museum of Art by Howard Hibbard From the dust jacket The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of the world's great museums, rivaling the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. This magnificent book offers a general look at all the collections in the eighteen separate departments, a history of the museum itself since its inception, and a concise history of world art.  Its value as a reference work will be as valuable as the appeal of its profuse and sumptuous illustrations, some six hundred of which are in full color. It is undoubtedly the best and most comprehensive book on the subject.
