FYI: The Invisible Museum

Here you will find A Pocket Guide to highlights from The Invisible Museum

The Pocket Guide discusses The Cook Museum of Book Arts which was founded by Gregory Cook Sr. (no relation) and is now run by Gregory Cook III (a friend but not a relative). The Museum, Cook claims, is located in the Dorchester section of Boston but I have yet to find it.

The museum houses many of the finest examples of the book arts (art works that originate in literature), including "Dorian Gray" by Basil Hallward, "The Cormorant" watercolor on paper by Jane Eyre, "I Shall Never Hear..." chalk on paper by Emmeline Grangerford, and "Now It's the Women's Turn" (oil on canvas) by Rabo Karabekian.

If you find the Museum please let me know where it is.
