Sister Wendy Beckett takes a journey through the history of art in this ten-part series.

Sister Wendy Beckett, a cloistered nun and Oxford-educated art scholar, takes an art appreciation tour across America, visiting six major art museums in this 6-hours documentary series from PBS.

Nine security guards from the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, in Lisbon, invite us to appreciate works of their choice from the Museum's permanent exhibition, in a presentation that crosses art, everyday life and biography.

The organization of an art exhibition, the curatorship, the staging of a play, are complex and multidisciplinary practices that demand creativity, research and rigor. This series reflects on the possibilities to carry out these activities.
