Artsy Novels


When I travel, I enjoy reading arts-inspired novels set in the places I’m visiting. My sister site, Art In Fiction, lists over 2200 novels inspired by the arts in ten categories: Architecture, Dance, Decorative Arts, Film, Literature, Music, Photography, Textile Arts, Theater, Visual Arts, and Other.

On Artsy Traveler, I’ve listed compelling novels to read when traveling to various Europe countries.
