t’s probably safe to say that you, like me, enjoy admiring artworks illustrated in magazines such as Fine Art Connoisseur. I always find it fascinating to see what artists have created, and I especially marvel at how they can often depict the same subject — such as Pike’s Peak or a bowl of roses — in completely fresh and individual ways.

No matter how satisfying it is to read about art, I also want to get out there and see it “live,” up close, under various kinds of light. I want to notice and appreciate aspects of the artwork that just may not be conveyable through even the highest‑quality photography and printing. That’s why all of our editorial and marketing team members love visiting museums and galleries for ourselves, and why we encourage you to do so whenever you can.

There is nothing quite like seeing an artwork in person, not only to appreciate

the artist’s skill and get a sense of the work’s size and visual impact, but also to observe how the other people around you are connecting with it. For a sculpture, the desirability of an in-person encounter is even more crucial: we really need to walk around it to fully grasp the artist’s vision in three dimensions.

For these and many other reasons, we are delighted to present this Museums section. We thank the colleagues who operate these popular and necessary venues for all they do, and we wish them continued success. Finally, if you know of a venue that should be included in the future, please let us know. We are always grateful for your feedback.
