Art of the Steal  This film looks at the controversy surrounding the art collection of Dr. Albert C. Barnes, a millionaire who amassed a remarkable selection of significant works during the early 20th century. Barnes sought to keep his priceless pieces together as part of his foundation even after his death,  the  involvement of numerous parties led to the scattering of his collection. This documentary sheds light on how his wishes were violated by a handful of opportunistic individuals.

Videos:  Concepts of the Cultural Collective 1.  Weaving Narratives . Thomas P. Campbell 16:37 Published on Oct 5, 2012 As the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Thomas P. Campbell thinks deeply about curating—not just selecting art objects but placing them in a setting where the public can learn their stories. With glorious images, he shows how his curation philosophy works for displaying medieval tapestries—and for the over-the-top fashion/art of Alexander McQueen. (From The Design Studio session at TED2012, guest-curated by Chee Pearlman and David Rockwell.) Questions to answer: 1i. What are the concerns of the historical museum? What is their purpose? 1ii. What problems incur in museums ? 1iii. What is said about electronic / digital media as compared to authentic objects? 1iv. What are the possible solutions that the Director suggests? 1v.  Other pertinent information you wish to add.    2.  How I learned to stop hating and love Museums . N
