Treasure palaces: great writers visit great museums

Who doesn't love a good museum? Whether grand and impressive, or irreverent and amusing, museums are places to lose - and find - ourselves, palaces of the imagination. And they have long been sources of inspiration to the most creative among us. 'Treasure Palaces' brings together over 20 of the world's greatest writers to give their own personal tours of the museums that have awed, haunted and inspired them.

The result is a fascinating look into the world of literature and museums, where Margaret Drabble, John Burnside, Claire Messud and Michael Morpurgo open the doors to their favourite places and invite us inside.
