Elaine brings her journalist's perspective for making sense of [the Louvre] in her latest book...helping us find new ways to enjoy the massive Louvre...She writes about its allure, romance, and even its secrets., I have read many books about museums, but Elaine Sciolino's stands out. This is essential reading for anyone visiting the Louvre--for those who already know it inside out and for those who have never been. You will get to know one of the most important museums in the world in ways that are illuminating, thought-provoking, surprising, amusing. A marvel of observation and insight., "People are always asking the best way to "do" the Louvre, and I've finally found it: with Elaine Sciolino's Adventures in the Louvre by your side. An indispensable, enchanting companion reminding us that the art world's most intimidating institution is also a lot of fun.", A colorful history of the world's most popular museum...In Adventures in the Louvre [Sciolino] does not try to take readers through every room or compile the museum's definitive history. Instead she focuses on themes and small details that will interest them. [She] has a journalist's knack for posing a good question...a discerning guide., Deftly weaving history and memoir, former New York Times Paris bureau chief Sciolino offers a spirited journey through France's most storied museum, the Louvre...An intimate visit with a generous, genial guide., Sciolino (The Only Street in Paris) takes readers on an affectionate and expressive tour...A charmingly effusive love letter sure to delight art history buffs., Visiting the Louvre is something everyone should do. But to do it well is another matter. Here, [Sciolino] shares a wealth of knowledge about the people and things that make the museum worth its sterling reputation, and also passes along her own hard-earned advice on what any visitor--whether it's the first time or their 50th--can do to make their time there truly unforgettable., Elaine Sciolino's new book, Adventures in the Louvre, is much more than a guide for art buffs. Through the prism of the museum's transformations over the centuries, Sciolino tracks France's changing self-image and place in the world., Adventures in the Louvre...details how [Sciolino] cracked the museum's polished, secretive surface to find something far deeply human and intimate beneath. In her relatable, passionate, and colorful telling, she describes the history of the palace-turned-museum--which is also the story of France., [Sciolino] manages to humanize a museum that is usually described as elitist, overwhelming, unwelcoming., Elaine Sciolino writes with the curiosity of a journalist, the humanity of a storyteller, and the joyful disrespect of an American. She is amused and ironic, but always impartial as she describes the glories, oddities and flaws of the Louvre. Alongside the masterpieces, she discovers the curators, guards, technicians, and firefighters who maintain them. With this enchanting book, we will find our way in a grand museum whose meanderings reflect the strange and glorious history of France., In its manifold splendors, the Louvre gave Henry James something of a panic attack. He did not have Elaine Sciolino, but we do: She has written a rich, rewarding introduction to the greatest collection of art in the world, from its trio of celebrated grandes dames to its hidden treasures, from its rooftop and tunnels to its dedicated fire brigade and three rooms of empty frames. A spirited, sumptuous book that makes the Louvre feel welcoming--even if you arrive on a Tuesday, when it's closed., An institution and collection that has been a quiet witness to so much history and change is bound to have stories to tell. Elaine Sciolino...has captured many of these stories in her newest book...At the Louvre, she spoke to everyone, from the guards to the lead curators, and received unprecedented access to rooms I didn't even know existed., Sciolino is the Louvre whisperer. With wit, charm and a scholar's bent, she walks us through the galleries, shining her light on beloved masterpieces as well as on treasures tucked deep into gallery corners, the ones that are easy to miss but that can be revelations even to those who know the museum well. Habitués will make discoveries in these pages and first-timers will count themselves lucky to have this book as a companion. And if food is your passion--it's mine!--you'll revel in Sciolino's tour of the Louvre as a sumptuous feast.
