We purchased this book from an art museum while on a driving trip. We used it all during out trip to make our stops a learning pleasure. It is amazing what wonderful art is out there in small museums. This book will be used whenever we plan a trip. If would be perfect for someone traveling in a motor home.

Do you wish you had an easier way to decide which city's art museums to visit? Russell & Spencer make it easy to decide on both the city and its art museums. The beginning of each state's chapter presents a map of the state with numbers attached to each city. The numbers represent how many art museums are in that city. This allows you do decide which city to visit, depending on how many days you can devote to the city. Each museum writeup gives you just enough info to get a feeling for what makes the museum special. As a bonus, attendance figures are given, which gives you an idea of the relative importance of each museum. This helps with time budgeting. I would not visit another city without Art Across America.
