Museums of Southeast Asia
Museums of Southeast Asia is not only a unique reference work for those keen on deepening their understanding of Southeast Asia's complex and ancient cultural arena, but also a practical and fully illustrated guide enabling visitors to make the most of their cultural tour of the region. By highlighting the museums' architecture and the often complicated history of their collection, and by discussing their works of art in depth, author Iola Lenzi offers practical insights and conveys the museums' character, providing the reader with the necessary foundation for an informed itinerary selection. Contact details and points of interest in the vicinity of each institution are also listed. And in its 'other spaces' section, the book provides an up-to-date guide to the region's locally known alternative art and cultural travellers and art enthusiasts, Museums of Southeast Asia is an invaluable resource for discovering the vast but widely despersed wealth of the region's collections.
