Description
In this story of one of the world's few privately financed museums, Mr. Whitehill writes with grace,elegance, and wit of the remarkable men and women who have applied money and talent to bringing excellence in the arts to Boston. Although the book is the history of a single institution, it also records a century of changes in taste and values. The author has drawn on museum reports as well as anecdotes, personal reminiscences, and recollections of current and former staff members. He describes the museum's collections and their acquisition and display (which sometimes required almost superhuman efforts of restoration). Over 500 carefully selected illustrations document the text. [Jacket cover]
