All the beauty in the world
The moving story of a museum guard who finds solace and meaning in his day-to-day life in the corridors of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Millions of people climb the grand marble staircase to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art every year, but only a privileged minority have unlimited access to all its nooks and crannies: they are the guards, who wander discreetly in navy blue suits, with a watchful eye on the 185,000 square metre treasury.
Absorbed in the beginning of his glamorous career at The New Yorker, Patrick Bringley never imagined he would end up as one of them. Everything changed when his older brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, at which point he felt a compelling need to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So he left the week and sought solace in the most beautiful place he knew. To his surprise, and to the reader's delight, this refuge became his second home for a decade.
We follow him as he guards delicate treasures from Egypt to Rome, wanders the labyrinths beneath the galleries, wears out nine pairs of shoes and marvels at the beautiful works in his care.
Bringley enters the museum as a ghost, silent and almost invisible, but soon finds his voice and his tribe: the artworks and their creators, and the vivid subculture of the museum's custodians - a magnificent mosaic of artists, musicians, stalwart operatives, immigrants, pranksters and dreamers. As his bonds with his colleagues and with the art grow stronger, he comes to understand how fortunate he is to live within the walls of this small universe that so closely resembles the best facets of our world, to which he gradually returns with gratitude.
All the Beauty in the World is a surprising and inspiring portrait of a magnificent museum, its hidden treasures and the people who keep it running, written by one of its most intimate observers.
