Tired of trying to bring in modern art finding it is not working for you?. Well it was a similar trouble that I faced while trying to bring in something into my guest room. I was advised to go for the latest trends in the art world. But nothing seemed to go with the decor of my room. Then one day I came across the art collection of Ransom Center.
They have a repository of drawings, paintings, sculpture and limited edition prints. Art works ranging from American, European and Asian from the 15th to 20th centuries are available at the center. You will be able to find over 65,000 works of art under a single roof. Apart from these art works they have rare books and manuscript collections.
Among the eight hundred thousand volumes of age old books at center, the Ptolemaic Papyri is the one of the oldest books that has its origin from third to first century B.C and is an eleventh-century codex which is believed to have been from the monastery located at Tegernsee. This is just one example and i am sure art book lovers like me will find on for their exclusive collection. The good thing is that this exhaustive data can be used for research purposes and also information can also be obtained on whether any of the prints are up for grabs.
