Even before they could write, people have always told stories with pictures and sculptures. And though art is universal, the story we know about it is not. Join two young adventurers on a truly global journey through thousands of years of art history. Discover treasure in Ancient Greece, marvel at bronze sculptures in Benin, decode messages hidden in Frida Kahlo's self-portraits, and think about the ideas behind Ai Weiwei's breathtaking installations. With 27 adventures to discover from around the world, each page features a key artist and artwork, with lots of things to spot and facts to learn along the way.
