GPL Book Group: All the Beauty in the World by Patrick Bringley In-Person
All the Beauty in the World: The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Me by Patrick Bringley is a poignant memoir that recounts the author’s decade-long experience as a guard at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. After the loss of his brother, Bringley leaves a fast-paced job at The New Yorker in search of solace and meaning. Within the museum’s vast halls, he finds both stillness and inspiration, reflecting on grief, beauty, and the quiet, profound moments that art—and life—can offer. Blending personal narrative with thoughtful insights about the artworks he encounters, Bringley offers a moving meditation on healing, purpose, and the transformative power of art.
