Journey to the heart of a London institution, with Frederick Wiseman's National Gallery. In this excerpt, a museum guide discusses the significance of the painting Christina of Denmark Duchess of Milan.
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.

In a perpetual and dizzying game of mirrors, film watches painting watches film.
