Scratch and sniff your way through five centuries of art history with this magical new book that’s perfect for any art lover!

At last: a museum that lets you touch the art—and smell it, too! Experience the world’s most iconic paintings like never before through the magic and delight of scratch and sniff. In this fun, informative, and interactive board book of 12 eternal masterpieces, readers scratch each painting and engage with art history in a whole new way. Smell the robust chianti in Caravaggio’s Bacchus. The fishy sea air of Great Wave off Kanagawa. Stale diner coffee in Edward Hopper’s Night Hawks—and much more. Each painting also features witty museum-style captions with unexpected facts about the artists, their works, and the stinky zeitgeists from which they flourished. Fun, funny, and splendidly tongue in cheek, it’s an irresistible gift for any art lover.
