All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley
5.0
I loved this book. Bringley’s passion for his work at the Met is totally infectious. He originally took the job to cope with grief, ended up staying ten years, and turned the experience into a beautiful bestseller.
Having worked as a security guard myself, I know how tough and mind-numbingly slow those shifts can be. But Bringley transforms the job into a quiet, heartfelt love letter to the Met and its treasures. I genuinely enjoyed every moment spent wandering the galleries with him.
If you’re thinking of reading this book, I highly recommend the e-book version—it has links to the artworks he writes about, which makes the whole experience even richer.
