Summary: size, content a problem
Comment: I bought this book once, in 2000, and hated it because it is so narrow you cannot easily xerox a page or two-all you realistically need when hitting the road. Although this guide does list a few international museums-all easily found on the internet, the usa coverage is really underpar compared to the many wonderful museums out there. Every year I wait for Judith Swirsky to publish On Exhibit-art lovers travel guide to american museums and I buy it. She gives you a great overview of the strengths or weakness of a particular collection as well as a summary of travelling exhibitions.

Summary: Good enough-- check the facts before heading out...
Comment: 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.

Summary: NY Times Traveler's Guide to Art Museum Exhibitions 2000
Comment: 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.
