Behind the Scenes

Who hasn’t dreamt of being allowed to explore areas forbidden to the public? Artists studios where major artistic and cultural events are secretly prepared? Mysterious rooms where shocking or unchaste works of art are stored? Storerooms where, for many years, certain objects lay waiting to be restored? 

This is exactly what this collection offers the reader: a journey behind the scenes of studios, operas, theatres; into museum storerooms; to the backyards of monuments: unveiling what is hidden behind the scenes of major cultural events and grand exhibitions.
