A family reluctantly visits an art gallery, but one by one each member is energized by a different picture in the gallery and transported into the imaginative and colourful world of art.-- From the Hardcover edition.

The same family that had such an enlightening experience in Anthony Browne's Zoo is now going to an art museum, Mom's choice for her birthday treat. But wisecracking Dad and their two sons are skeptical about how much fun this trip will be, and they're not quite sure what to make of the art. ("What on earth is that supposed to be?" asks Dad.)
