Description
Jonathan Meades' Museum Without Walls brings together fifty-four pieces and six film scripts that challenge our perceptions of culture, history, and architecture. By dissolving the boundaries between high and low culture, good and bad taste, Meades delivers 'heavy entertainment' - strong opinions backed by an astonishing depth of knowledge. This collection is a testament to Meades' obsessive preoccupation with places, drawing attention to what he calls 'the rich oddness of what we take for granted'. With his unique perspective, Meades leaves readers better informed, more alert, and less gullible.
