2.0 out of 5 stars Useful but flawed, January 15, 2000

By A Customer

I have used Susan Rappaport's book of the same title for many years, along with the Art Lover's Travel Guide because that book included more web addresses, more american musuems, and had a point of view-which saves me from visiting the second rate. I do not mind buying two books each year. But....

I plan my trips around art shows, and just xerox pages to take with me. That is very difficult to do because this book is so slender-perhaps they were thinking we would put it in our pocket? Since it covers international as well as american museums, it is unlikely we would do so.

I resent this guy using virtually the same title as I have bought from Susan Rappaport before, and short changing the pages. Since I work in the travel industry I have used thousands of guide books. This is not one I will buy again unless they make it a reasonable reading size. Susan, where the heck are you?

5.0 out of 5 stars NY Times Traveler's Guide to Art Museum Exhibitions 2000, March 16, 2000

By	Susan Rappaport (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

The Traveler's Guide to Art Museum Exhibitions was aquired by the NY Times--it wasn't highjacked!Musem goers and trip planners for 2000 and beyond have the oppurtunity to purchase the same exact guide that Susan Rappaport conceived in 1989, but covering more museums than ever, world-wide, by the esteemed NY Times. This pre-eminent Guide has expanded to include more articles on art and museums by Judy Dobzrynski,New York Times ArtsReporter; John Russell, renowned Times art critic; and Alan Riding, a foremost Times cultural reporter, posted in Paris.Susan Rappaport remains as editorial consultant. The Traveler's Guide continues its unique section of listing Major Traveling Exhibitions, which it created ten years ago. This was done so that you and that "must-see" exhibition can be in the same town at the same time. It also has many photos, full schedules of museums everywhere, web-sites, tour and catalogue information, as well as programs for children. It also includes major works, not to be missed that are in permanent collections. It has long been been hailed as the "perfect guide for art lovers who travel and travelers who love art." Instead of tearing out pages and xeroxing them, why not collect the Traveler's Guide? For it has become the most complete history and archive of museum exhibitions, for lay-person and scholar alike.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good enough-- check the facts before heading out..., December 22, 2001

By	Jason Longchamps (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Traveler's Guide to Art Museum Exhibitions 2002: The New York Times (Paperback)

I have been waiting for this book to appear for months. It was delayed in production and finally comes to us fraught with errors. For example: Museums in Chicago and San Fran are listed as having the same exhibition schedules. Last year's guide was my Bible and road map. After one day of having my 2002, I can see that I will not be putting as much mileage on my car this year. I did, however, enjoy the essay about the contemporary trend towards supersizing photographs.
