Book Talk: All The Beauty in the World
Join us for a special book talk with Patrick Bringley, Sunset Park resident and author of All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me. Bringley’s “exquisite” book (The Washington Post) draws on his decade working as a guard at New York City’s largest museum, delving into the Met’s encyclopedic collection of art, how the museum operates, the 500 colleagues in the security department, and more. Culture Pass invites you to hear more from the author of this “empathic chronicle of one museum, the works collected there and the people who keep it running — all recounted by an especially patient observer” (The New York Times).
Copies of All the Beauty in the World are available for checkout from the customer service desk on the main floor.
Support for Culture Pass is provided by the Charles H. Revson Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, and the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.
