Este libro, ilustrado con algunas de las más famosas pinturas de la National Gallery de Londres: "El carro de heno", "Madame Moitesier sentada", "Les parapluies", de Pierre-Auguste Renoir, "Tormenta tropical con tigre", de Henry Rousseau; y de la Tate Gallery también londinense, "Suprematismo Dinámico", pretende enseñar a los niños, a través del personaje de Carlota, los encantos de un museo, las riquezas que en él se encuentran y lo divertido que resulta su visita.    La pequeña se introduce en cuadros de diferentes estilos y estéticas, de diferentes épocas, incluso de distintos colores, texturas y motivos. "¡Esto sí que es pasárselo bien!", afirma Carlota.    Al final de El Museo de Carlota se incluyen unos cuantos consejos que los más pequeños pueden seguir cuando vayan a una galería de arte, como son no tocar nunca los cuadros para no dañarlos, no ver demasiados en una sola visita ya que es mejor escoger unos pocos y fijarse en los detalles, las formas y los colores.
