Museum In Action

A 1961 film by British reporter Alistair Cooke about the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and its then director Leslie Cheek's pioneering efforts to get the arts to the people of the state. A time machine glimpse of early 1960s U.S. culture that is very historic, revealing, and camp nostalgia at once.
