<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 11190907, member: 55"]These look to be great museums for old books....I'd mention one for those who are interested in contemporary works. The Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, on Bainbridge Island, near Seattle, has a room dedicated to rotating exhibits of contemporary book art; many are amazing works of craft; many that some would not call books as such. It is based on the 1800-book collection of Cynthia Lovelace Sears, a founder of the museum. This is a truly fine smaller museum: "BIMA inspires curiosity, wonder and understanding by connecting people with the contemporary art and craft of the Puget Sound Region." And it is free.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.biartmuseum.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.biartmuseum.org/" rel="nofollow">Home - Bainbridge Island Museum of Art</a></p><p><a href="https://www.whirligig.hungerbutton.org/2023/cynthia-sears/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.whirligig.hungerbutton.org/2023/cynthia-sears/" rel="nofollow">Cynthia Sears, Champion of the Arts – Whirligig</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
