Introduction & Series Review

The Welcome to the Museum series by Big Picture Press is a treasure trove of knowledge and art that will entertain readers of all ages.

Each book is intended to replicate the experience of visiting a grand museum. With oversized pages, stunning full-color illustrations, and meticulous attention to detail, these books evoke the wonder of walking through exhibits that are both educational and visually arresting.

Written with contributions from leading academics, the texts offer rich insights into the subject matter, but are carefully curated to remain accessible and engaging for all readers. Excellent resources for homeschooling.

These books also stand out for their craftsmanship: cloth-bound spines for durability, premium quality paper, and intricate artwork. Typically released first in the UK, the editions vary slightly in spelling and cover design, but maintain the same globally relevant content so it doesn’t matter too much which one you get. Companion materials for some of the titles include postcard sets and poster books, and there were also a few special limited edition releases for the earlier titles.
