The Art Museum -

. .

Résumé :
This imaginary museum houses the greatest collection of art ever assembled. Its 440 rooms display thousands of works. Many are iconic, others are less known, some are small, more are large, and very often they are priceless. Unlike any other museum in the world, the paintings, sculptures, frescos, photographs, tapestries, friezes, installations, performances, videos, woodblock prints, folding screens, ceramics, manuscripts and jewels housed here tell the history of world art. This is the only museum to contain Botticelli's Primavera, a collection of Rembrandt's finest self-portraits and Salvador Dalí's Persistence of Memory, as well as ceramics from China, Hokusai's woodblock prints, gold artefacts from Peru, paintings from the caves at Lascaux and works by Pablo Picasso, Bruce Nauman and Cy Twombly. Stroll through its 25 colour-coded galleries and learn about art from all ages and cultures, through works that have been gathered from over 600 private and public collections located in 66 different countries. In-depth wall texts by expert curators explain the extraordinary variety of human creativity exhibited here, and succinct object labels describe in detail the individual works. Cross-references lead the visitor on a rich journey of discovery, and a section with maps, a glossary and a museum directory makes your visit informative as well as enjoyable. Curated over ten years by a team of over 100 specialists, The Art Museum is a resource unparalleled in any media - a monumental museum without walls.
