Who would have thought that the outstanding art book of the year would be written not by a curator or an art historian or even an artist but by a museum guard? * Sunday Times, *Art Book of the Year* * Greek vases, an Iroquois turtle rattle, Picassos. His every word about them is illuminating. The big picture is arts power to console and unite * Financial Times *Best Books of 2023* * Consoling and beautiful * Guardian * Hauntingly beautiful ... elegant ... a work of art as luminous as the old masters' paintings that comforted [Bringley] in his grief * Daily Mail Online * Bringley is a marvellous guide ... All the Beauty in the World succeeds joyously * Daily Telegraph * Told with real literary gusto and an impressive command of pace and shape. After finishing this book, plenty of sensitive readers will be desperate to become museum guards * Sunday Times * An uplifting memoir that recalls his time behind the scenes there with colour, pathos and flair * Mail on Sunday * I loved Bringleys book. It taught me how to get more out of museums, how to pay attention, and how to think differently about time * Financial Times * This absorbing memoir is also a beautifully written manual on how to appreciate art, and life. It's a must read for art lovers * Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with a Pearl Earring * Wonderful. If you have ever been to a museum and stood motionless before an exhibit, if you've ever looked at a painting and found yourself crying, if you have ever wondered how a sculptor could find a human body inside a block of stone, this book is for you * Natalie Haynes, author of A Thousand Ships *
