When speaking about the Wonders of the World, we mostly refer to the well-known Seven Wonders. But are there only those? Do wonders only refer to historical structures, or to giant structures that bear testimony to the ultimate capability of Man? Is the Model T Ford not a wonder? Is Mount Rushmore not a wonder? This book contains a compilation of 200 wonders, which not only includes structures, but also incidents, discoveries and works that have changed the way we think or even the way we live. Classified into Classical, Natural, Structural, Architectural, Cultural, and Technological Wonders, this book serves as a holistic guide to the wonders that have inspired us, as also to the wonders that have long gone unnoticed.

As the guardians of the world's artistic heritage, museums have always played in important role in our culture. However, the buildings themselves are sometimes superb masterpieces and splendid examples of a vast array of styles. From the controversial Louvre Pyramid to the stylistic elegance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this sophisticated work offers an overview of the architecture of the world's most famous museums. Giulia Camin, the author, has written a superb history of museums accompanied by architectural plans, detailed drawings and photographs of the interiors and façades. The visual images are interspersed with information about the architects and engineers who played a key role in the design and construction of these important buildings. The book focuses on a selection of museums scattered all over the world, including the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Prado in Madrid, the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and the huge Smithsonian Complex in Washington DC. The volume takes the reader on a tour of several modern masterpieces, such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by Daniel Libeskind, and the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao by Frank Gehry, considered by many to be the most important museum building of the 20th century. The photographs, commissioned specially for the book, show the innovative design of the interior of the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem, where the different heights of the ceilings and varying intensity of the lighting of the mainly underground galleries create the ideal atmosphere for recalling the Holocaust. The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, in contrast, stands almost 1000 feet above sea level and is topped by a first-class restaurant that offers panoramic views over the principality and the coast. This book is an essential resource for students of architecture, professional architects and culture-loving travelers eager to visit some of the most famous museums in the world. 686 colour photographs

From a stunning villa on sunny Capri with Ali Smith to an unlikely temple in the heart of Copenhagen with Alan Hollinghurst, Treasure Palaces brings together over twenty of the world's greatest writers to give their own personal tours of the museums that have awed, haunted and inspired them. Join Andrew Motion as he muses on writerly methods in the British Library, or Matthew Sweet at the hands-on joy of the ABBA museum. Julian Barnes meditates on Jean Sibelius's music, as well as the composer's apple corer, while visiting his home in Helsinki. Jacqueline Wilson encounters the dolls of Le Musée de la Poupée, Tim Winton remembers his first bare-foot encounter with the National Gallery of Victoria, and Aminatta Forna ponders love tokens in The Museum of Broken Relationships. From mausoleums to massive galleries, from London and New York to Kabul and Zagreb, Treasure Palaces explores some of the world's greatest - and sometimes surprising - museums. The result is a collection of moving, lyrical essays that speak to the enduring power of museums in our cultural life, and will leave you longing to revisit your favourite treasure palace or looking for a new one to explore.

A comprehensive bibliography and exhibition chronology of the world's greatest museum of the decorative arts and design. The Victoria and Albert Museum, or South Kensington Museum as it used to be known, was founded by the British Government in 1852, out of the proceeds from the Great Exhibition of 1851. Like the Exhibition, it aimed to improve the expertise of designers, and the taste of the public, by exposing them to examples of good design from all countries and periods. 2,500 publications have to date been produced by, for, or in association with the V&A. The National Art Library, which is part of the Museum, has prepared this detailed catalogue, supplemented by a secondary list of 500 other books closely related to the V&A. The 1,500 exhibitions and displays recorded include those held in the main Museum and at its branches, the Bethnal Green Museum (now the National Museum of Childhood) and the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden, and additionally those it has organized at external venues, in Great Britain and abroad. The exhibitions and publications are fully cross-referenced, and there are name, title and subject indexes to the whole work, as well as an explanatory introduction.
