A thoroughly gorgeous work of art. I loved seeing all of the illustrations of the Louvre and its art as the main character made his way through art history, especially exploring Japanese art history. I learned quite a bit from this book, including that the Louvre's art was evacuated ahead of the Nazi invasion of France.
