The Great Museum

Art, Austria 2014

The cinema documentary DAS GROSSE MUSEUM is a curious, mischievously humorous look behind the scenes of a world-famous cultural institution. Director Johannes Holzhausen and his film team spent over two years looking around the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. In an attentive direct cinema style - no off-screen commentary, no interviews, no background music - the film observes the multifaceted work processes involved in giving art its proper framework. The chain of interlocking cogs extends from the director to the cleaning service, from the transporters to the art historian.
