All The Beauty In The World: Guarding the Met with Patrick Bringley

A special bonus episode! Two years ago we featured Patrick Bringley on the show, the author of All The Beauty In The World, regarding his experiences as a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the life lessons he learned strolling silently past priceless works of art.

The book has become a massive best-seller worldwide and has even become a cultural phenomenon in South Korea, selling more than a quarter million copies in that country alone. So we thought we’d bring Patrick back to the show, on the occasion of his new off-Broadway show based on the book.

How do you transform an off-Broadway stage into the Metropolitan Museum of Art? What life lessons can you absorb from walking around museums?

As it turns out, the routines and responsibilites of a museum security guard can stand in for many types of professions, offering peaceful ritual and possibilies for deeper reflection of the beautiful things surrounding us.
