Book 1: How to go to the museum

Thirty-two tips from Dutch writer and art consultant Johan Idema for readers who are thirsty for artistic experiences. What is the best way to benefit from the knowledge of museum curators? Why is your child the perfect guide? Are portraits of ancient masters really the prototype of modern selfies? By answering such unexpected questions, his book becomes a guide to turning a boring wander through museum halls into an exciting journey full of vivid emotions.

To get an unforgettable experience in an art museum, according to the author of this book, you need to «do many things differently». And he offers ways to do this - for every taste. Perhaps when you read it, you will run to the nearest museum naked with a folding chair in your hands and start touching the exhibits.

Or maybe you'll linger longer in front of a painting, talk to a stranger, listen to your own child's impressions. And so you will discover new depths in works of art. Or simply enjoy a virtual journey through the world's museums while reading.

The book has a lot of light - like a museum window when you look through it on a sunny day from a cool gallery.

Book 2. A short book about art

The book by British art historian Dana Arnold is a kind of introduction to the history of art, written in a concise and accessible way. The author offers a fresh and non-trivial look at works of art, from the cave paintings of prehistoric people to the scandalous installations of contemporary artists. Professor Arnold takes readers through a virtual gallery and convincingly proves that anyone can learn to understand art and enjoy its masterpieces.
