To quote the book， "Taiwan Province of China"？ Really？ Lost all respect for the author and publisher with this statement。 To quote the book， "Taiwan Province of China"？ Really？ Lost all respect for the author and publisher with this statement。 。。。more

I received an electronic copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 Honestly， this book wasn't what I expected。 The author travels the globe and gives little blurbs about amazing art you can see when visiting similar places。 Most blurbs about the artwork include a triangle which points in the direction of a picture of the work its describing。 Some works she describes unfortunately do not include a picture。 This is a great way to travel around the continents during the tim I received an electronic copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 Honestly， this book wasn't what I expected。 The author travels the globe and gives little blurbs about amazing art you can see when visiting similar places。 Most blurbs about the artwork include a triangle which points in the direction of a picture of the work its describing。 Some works she describes unfortunately do not include a picture。 This is a great way to travel around the continents during the time of Covid。 It appears there is only one picture for each described art work， so you can only see it from the one captured angle。 I think this would make a really cool huge coffee table book。 As an e-book， it is difficult to read on a phone。 You would need a tablet or PC screen to fit the entire page on the screen。 I think this book would be best enjoyed in print form with glossy pictures。 。。。more

3。5 stars rounded up。 Amazing Art Adventures provides an overview of 400 arty experiences from around the world。 The book is divided into sections by continent and includes locations in North America， South America， Europe， Africa， Asia， and Oceania， though the largest section by far is Europe。 Each page of the book has a couple different locations， some with accompanying photos and some without。 I do wish that more of the locations had images included。 As I was reading I found that I read the f 3。5 stars rounded up。 Amazing Art Adventures provides an overview of 400 arty experiences from around the world。 The book is divided into sections by continent and includes locations in North America， South America， Europe， Africa， Asia， and Oceania， though the largest section by far is Europe。 Each page of the book has a couple different locations， some with accompanying photos and some without。 I do wish that more of the locations had images included。 As I was reading I found that I read the full captions for the locations with photos and skimmed the ones without， so I wish there had been more photos。I was pleasantly surprised at how many of the U。S。 and European locations I have been to。 It made me feel cultured and well traveled。 There were a couple place I’ve been， like The Vigeland Park in Oslo， that I was surprised did not make the cut。 I was thrilled to see that the Spiral Jetty received a page unto itself （I’m a Utah girl and live a couple hours from the jetty）。 The book added a couple places like the Rothko Chapel in Houston to my bucket list and reiterated my need to visit a few places like the Picasso Museum in Malaga。 Overall the book would be a fun coffee table book， but it would be extremely difficult to plan a vacation with it as your guide。Thank you to NetGalley， Quatro Publishing Group， and Frances Lincoln for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。（Instagram post coming June 23， 2021 around 6 PM MT 。。。more

I was sent an ARC in exchange of my honest and independent opinion on this book。What a beautifully curated collection of art across the globe。 Perfect coffee table coection and a must for anyone who enjoys art。 Such fun bits and facts and spectacular pictures。 Stuck in this quarantine ， reading this felt like I tour a vacation around the globe。 So refreshing and extremely informative

As someone who has planned whole travel itineraries around visiting art museums I thought this book would be perfect for me。 The book is divided into sections by continent and readily admits that it mixes traditional museums with art in unusual places。 With over 400 entries it is a nice resource for different types and styles of art。 Most places get a photo and a small blurb that mentions a highlight or two。 It is easily readable and I the art spotlighted is interesting to learn about。I focussed As someone who has planned whole travel itineraries around visiting art museums I thought this book would be perfect for me。 The book is divided into sections by continent and readily admits that it mixes traditional museums with art in unusual places。 With over 400 entries it is a nice resource for different types and styles of art。 Most places get a photo and a small blurb that mentions a highlight or two。 It is easily readable and I the art spotlighted is interesting to learn about。I focussed my attention on North America and Europe as I've traveled extensively on those continents。 Happily I've visited almost 30 of the art sites （museums， galleries， etc。） listed in the USA and over 30 in Europe。 The photos are pretty and I enjoyed looking for art that I've seen or locations I've been to for museums I may have missed。 This is a fun book to look through and add ideas to your art bucket list， but it isn't organized well to be a travel resource or guide。 The Trail for Georgia O'Keeffe is great if you are visiting New Mexico， but the Picasso Trail requires visiting two continents and five countries。 I did read through the entire book and look forward to future places to visit art when travel becomes easier again。 I like the idea for this book and it would be a nice gift for the an art and travel lover。 Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group-White Lion for a temporary ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
