Official Synopsis
This is a delightful film. For those who like going to museums when visiting Europe, in this case France, the film serves as a reminder that there is more to a country's artistic heritage and riches than what is shown in the renown large museums and galleries where often art displayed is well synchronized with the established art history timeline represented by a few carefully selected major representatives of the art history narrative. The film acquaints the spectator with five small museums in the northern France which possess some remarkable works of art. It helps to enrich one's understanding of the magnitude of art production in the past (and even present) of which the majority of the public is not aware."In addition to major museums such as Louvre-Lens and the Palais des beaux-arts de Lille, the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region in France is home to about 100 more modest museums. This film visits five typical museums in French Flanders, located in settings that themselves look like paintings. Each has one or more masterpieces, which goes to show there is really no such thing as a small museum."
I highly recommend to see this film. In addition to discovering unknown works of art, with the help of the film one gets 'to travel' to those five small museums, as most of us just have no time or means to just take off and go to visit them in person.
