In this exuberant celebration of the world#x0;s museums, great and small, revered writers like Ann Patchett, Julian Barnes, Ali Smith, and more tell us about their favorite museums, including the Lower East Side Tenement Museum in New York, the Musée Rodin in Paris, and the Prado in Madrid. These essays, collected from the pages of The Economist#x0;s Intelligent Life magazine, reveal the special hold that some museums have over us all. Acclaimed novelist William Boyd visits the Leopold Museum in Vienna--a shrine to his favorite artist, Egon Schiele, whom Boyd first discovered on a postcard as a University student. In front of her favorite Rodins, Allison Pearson recalls a traumatic episode she suffered at the hands of a schoolteacher following a trip to the Musée in Paris. Neil Gaiman admires the fantastic world depicted in British outsider artist Richard Dadd#x0;s "The Fairy Feller#x0;s Master-Stroke," ف ىٰ"َ فِىىَٰهَ وٰف ٰفٱٌ ُلمكفُْمٰل وٰم نلٌُُ ٰكُم ْنُ ف رمم َفقٌ،ٍ وُٱمل ى َوٰم ضىكىُْٰف َ ٍُُْنُ شفمٰ آىْفٰى#x0;ٱَ ذمْ-زفوِفمىٌمٰ كمٌٌُكىٰ.َُ ء ََذفكٰوم ٰٰنلَُ"ٌ مْىٱىٱٰ بفْفلْ صىَمٱْى"ٰ#x0;ٱ حٱمٍنُ خفٰفْ ٌبىٱ"ُْٰ--وىكو ٱوم لىٱكُممْل ف ٰ١٩، وىمٌ ى َوٰم وٰمُْٱ نُ ٱمٍٍ ْفٍُْكَم ىوٰ ف قىهٌُُ" ٱٰلم َٰفَمٍل تفك.ً شمْفٱمْ ذففٌكمٱ ىٱ ف مْٰفٱمْ ُْٰم نُ لَُمٱْ، ف ىْٰقمٰ ُٰوٰم لىمٱْى"ٰ فلَ ُِم ْنُ وٰم ٍٱمٱٍ، وٰم ٱفنم-مًممِٱْ نُ ُ ْلٌُْ#x0;ٱ ٱٍُ ٰم٬فْٰلُْىفَ"ْ فىْٰنفكٱٰ، فلَ ف َىىَٰفٍمٰ ًٌُُى َُٰوٰم لمم"ٌِ مِٱْفَُ ٌمْمىْمٱ م نف ٌٌى َُٰوم َقمنمُْ همْف ٰف.ْٰ -- ذُْىلمل ق" ِقىٌٱوم.ْ
