Dumbarton Oaks

Description:

"Dumbarton Oaks houses the extraordinary art collection begun by Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss in the beginning of the 20th century. The specialist collections in Byzantine and Pre-Columbian art are famous among scholars in the fields. For the first time the museum publishes highlights of these collections together with examples from the Bliss's superb European collections." "Dumbarton Oaks - The Collections is intended as a valuable resource and a pleasure to read for scholars and laypeople alike, who share the Blisses' fascination with artistry and craftsmanship from around the world and across the centuries."--book jacket.
