Rated 4 out of 5 by from Seeing the Work Behind the Exhibition I enjoyed seeing all of the work that goes on behind the scenes of a major exhibit at a world famous museum - up close and personal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A beautiful tribute I loved being a quiet observer, able to make my own internal observations, of this beautiful collection of talented and dedicated people. The silence helped to emphasize the focus and expertise of those involved in everything from grand restorations to bug hunts. A documentary like this only adds to my deep love for museums.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from No Sense of Narrative This film gives an amazing behind the scenes look at the museum and all that goes on there. It's worth watching just to see the art up close and the inner workings of the museum. One thing that could have vastly improved this film would have been the addition of narration. Most of the time, I had no idea who the people were, what they were doing, and why they were doing it. There was no sense of narrative to tie the scenes together. It was just a random assortment of scenes taking place inside the museum. It was still interesting and worth watching. I just wish it had been a little more cohesive.
