Description

Luscious photos present the varied and intriguing interiors of 26 houses that are museums because of their architectural or historical significance houses that are "living museums" because they tell us so much about life in that time and place. The text is equally stimulating, telling of each house's design and construction, inhabitants, and history. The featured houses are located in the Americas, Europe, and the Far East and Australasia. A comprehensive gazetteer lists some 950 living museums worldwide. 10x12" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
