Summary: The next best thing to being there in person
Comment: Some of my fondest memories of Ithaca and Cornell are of the Johnson Museum - and not just from my days as a student or a staff member here. My parents (one of whom, by the way, was responsible for publishing this book [here endeth the disclaimer]) were Cornell alums, and brought my brother and me here for the Museum's opening back in the early 1970s, and several other times since.

Apart from the spectacular views from the fifth and sixth floors, the Johnson Museum also affords the visitor a startlingly broad and deep permanent collection of many different genres of art. That collection is represented here in beautiful reproductions, along with excellent text, particularly by Museum Director Frank Robinson and Curator Nancy Green.

Of course nothing can really take the place of an in-person visit to the Johnson Museum (and to Cornell), especially because their seasonal exhibitions are almost always striking and interesting. But for everyone who might remember a rainy Thursday afternoon wandering the galleries, this book is an indispensible trip down fine art's memory lane.
