Museum Shapes is a concept book about shapes. It asks you to find shapes in famous artwork from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The first page asks you to find what shape is the wheel, for example. The second page has the famous artwork with the wheel in it. You turn the page, and there are four more famous pieces of artwork followed by the shape on the next page.

This book is a wonderful book for young children to learn about shapes while becoming familiar with famous artwork. Not only does it show each shape, but it makes you guess each shape from the artwork. I absolutely recommend this book to introduce children to art.
