After being discarded on the floor of an art museum, Stub (a museum ticket) has nowhere to go until Daisy the docents helper (a name tag) finds him and offers him a tour of the museum. Stub meets a badge who keeps the artworks safe, a computer who archives them, and other characters who work there. From the directors office to the library to the conservators studio to the loading dock, Stub discovers who does what, and what goes on, behind the scenes at the museum. He even finds a home for himself among the museums many treasures!David Goldin combines actual artworks by famous artists, found pieces, and digital art to tell Stubs sweet story. Filled with fun facts and a glossary, the book wonderfully introduces young readers to all that museums have to offer.Praise for Meet Me at the Art Museum:'Its not as if the concept of a museum is obvious to a small child: How did all these paintings get here? Why cant I touch them? And why is that painting here when it looks like my drawing on the fridge? To the rescue, Daisy, a nametag docent, gives Stub, a torn ticket, a tour of the basics. Goldins easygoing text and clever collaged illustrations make Sunday afternoon excursions so much more explicable.'New York Times'An engaging and enlivening introduction for kids and adults alike.'Kirkus Reviews'The googlyeyed characters make it quite enjoyable to pick up the book and get a feel for what makes a museum work, explaining both public and private areas.'Booklist'The volume offers an adequate overview of museum operations.'School Library Journal'The book works best as a basic introduction to what a museum is and how it works; the paintings and sculptures are ID'd on the closing page.'Publishers Weekly'Overall, this book will entice children of all ages to want to take a trip to their nearest art museum to learn more about all the great people and things that go on there.'New York Journal of Books
