One of the most charming volumes from the Museums Discovered series, this 1981 book takes us to the museums and artistic history of the Côte d’Azur in the south of France.
The French Riviera has long been associated with artists, collectors, the Mediterranean, and a particularly glamorous creative life. This beautifully illustrated volume explores the region through its museums and artistic heritage.
With extensive color illustrations, map endpapers, and an elegant leatherette-style binding with a colorful cover image, it feels as much like a vintage design object as an art reference.
A perfect addition to a collection of French art books—or displayed on a coffee table for a little Riviera atmosphere at home.
