"Some of the country's best art is hidden in plain sight, in museums largely unknown outside their regions. How works by masters like Rembrandt, Rodin, Ansel Adams, Picasso, van Gogh, Monet, Hokusai, and O'Keeffe wound up where they did is a colorful tale of American art collecting and history. It's the story of patrician families who acquired masterworks, self-made millionaires who used their business savvy to outbid rivals, and prescient collectors who championed new artists and neglected genres. A visit to each of the fifty museums in this book offers an art-viewing experience 360 degrees different from most museum visits--one that is personal, intimate, and blissfully uncrowded. The museums in A Love for the Beautiful deliver for today's travelers, transforming routine business trips and forming the basis for memorable destination weekends and getaways. "--
