The Musée océanographique de Monaco is built right into a cliff above the Mediterranean Sea, and it took eleven years to construct! Founded over 110 years ago by the seafaring Prince Albert I, it's home to some of the oldest aquariums in the world and a marine care center where injured sea turtles are nursed back to health and released back into the ocean.

The Great Big Book of Museums by Éva Bensard & Benjamin Chaud dives into this extraordinary place and twelve others. Learn more at redcometpress.com/nonfiction/museums! 🐠🌊

The Louvre is the largest museum in the world and it started out as a castle!

Built for French kings around the year 1200, it became a public museum after the French Revolution and now draws nine million visitors a year. Young visitors can even pick up a free scavenger hunt "passport" at the information desk to explore on their own terms.

The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam might be the only museum in the world with a bicycle path running right through it! In the Netherlands, bikes outnumber people — so it only makes sense. Inside, eight thousand works of art trace eight hundred years of Dutch history, including masterpieces by Rembrandt and Vermeer.

A wonderful review from Kirkus for I Am a Leaf by Angelo Mozzillo and Marianna Balducci!

Kirkus calls it "a contemplative and poetic tale for emotionally attuned young naturalists," praising Mozzillo's "spare text" for conveying "impressive nuance through its perfect rhymes and unrhyming couplets" and Balducci's "short and soft digital pencil sketches" for completing "illustrative scenes rambling across vast white expanses."

Kirkus notes it "should find frequent use among science and art educators," and we think it belongs on every shelf. 🍂

The Mucem in Marseille is a museum where snow globes sit next to old farming tools, kitchen utensils, and even a soccer ball because everyday objects can be windows into how we live!

The building itself is pretty remarkable too, with a 377-foot footbridge suspended above the Mediterranean Sea connecting its two buildings, and a glowing turquoise light show every night.

The Great Big Book of Museums by Éva Bensard & Benjamin Chaud explores this one-of-a-kind museum and twelve others around the world. Learn more at redcometpress.com/nonfiction/museums!

The Smithsonian Institution includes twenty-one museums and research centers — and most of them are free to visit every single day of the year.

It all started with one British scientist who left his fortune to the United States in 1829 with a single wish: that the money be used to spread knowledge far and wide. The Great Big Book of Museums by Éva Bensard & Benjamin Chaud takes young readers inside this incredible institution and twelve others around the world.
