When Patrick’s older brother dies at the tender age of twenty-six, all he wants is to retreat. So, he does. He quits his job and seeks refuge in the most beautiful place he knows: New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

All the Beauty in the World recounts Patrick’s time as a museum guard, keeping quiet vigil over some of the world's greatest treasures and uncovering the Met’s innermost secrets. As his connection to the art and the life that swirls around it grows, so does Patrick – and gradually he emerges transformed by heartbreak, community and the power of art to illuminate life in all its pain, pleasure and hope.
