A handsomely boxed set of 50 unique postcards with witty and whimsical illustrations of the most beloved museums of North America. From New Yorker cartoonist and bestselling author Bob Eckstein. Curated by the New York Times bestselling author Bob Eckstein, this postcard set features the most beloved museums of North America. Fifty gorgeously rendered art postcards offer a delightful twist on art history by showing these institutions in a way not seen before, illustrated in a lush and idealized style. The museums featured include the biggest and boldest names (MoMA, The Whitney) and the more offbeat (the Museum of Bad Art, the Museum of Jurassic Technology). They span the US, Canada, and Mexico and include institutions specializing in art, natural history, academia, science, and more. Bob Eckstein is an award-winning illustrator, writer, and cartoonist for the New Yorker , New York Times , Reader's Digest , Smithsonian Magazine , Atlas Obscura , and many others. His Footnotes from the World's Greatest Bookstores was a New York Times bestseller and made many Best Of 2016 lists and continues to be an Amazon Most Wished for Title years later. A postcard set based on that book was published in 2018. He is also the author of The History of the Snowman , The Illustrated History of the Snowman , and The Complete Book of Cat Names (That Your Cat Won't Answer to Anyway) .
