The Museum Plaza | Noa Ben-Shalom, Noa Amiel Lavie, Israel, 2022, 12 minutes, Hebrew with English subtitles
Introduction: Shua Ben Ari, Curator and Head of Younes & Soraya Nazarian Family Experiential Center (in Hebrew)

National Gallery | Frederick Wiseman, United Kingdom, 2014, 180 minutes, English with Hebrew subtitles
Wiseman’s touching film takes the audience on a journey to the heart of the world-famous museum – London’s National Gallery. The museum holds over 24,000 works of art created between the 13th century and the late 19th century. Almost every human experience is represented in one of its works. With great sensitivity, the film follows the public visiting the galleries, the various educational activities held in it, and the academics, scholars and curators studying, conserving and working on upcoming exhibitions. The film links the history of the paintings with that of the institution, the traffic of visitors with that of the staff, and works of art with the art of storytelling.
