Journey to the heart of a London institution, with Frederick Wiseman's National Gallery. In this excerpt, a museum guide has visitors imagining themselves inside the painting The San Pier Maggiore Altarpiece, by Jacopo di Cione and workshop.
National Gallery takes the audience behind the scenes of a London institution, on a journey to the heart of a museum inhabited by masterpieces of Western art from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. National Gallery is the portrait of a place, its way of working and relations with the world, its staff and public, and its paintings. In a perpetual and dizzying game of mirrors, film watches painting watches film.
