Patrick Bringley, ALL THE BEAUTY IN THE WORLD: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me

Zibby interviews author Patrick Brigley about All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me, an illuminating and beautifully written memoir about one of the world’s greatest museums and the guard who roamed its halls for a decade. Patrick shares his memories of his late brother, who died at age 28 and was the catalyst for a career change. Then, he describes what the museum, its art, and its workers taught him about himself and the world around him. Finally, he talks about the challenges of parenting, the books he likes to read, and what it was like to write this book mid-pandemic.
