I would like to highly recommend "The Art of the Steal" - a fascinating movie.

[Peregrine Took]

It tells the story of Dr. Albert Barnes and his wish to maintain his magnificent art collection (circa 1920's)in a small museum/school in suburban Philadelphia. He wanted to preserve it as an art school and only had it open to the public one or two days a week.

Eventually, the powers that be in Phillie hungered for it to be moved to the city and the movie details that story. Money and power will out.

This is a very gripping film. I fear its going to have a short run in the art/indie type movie houses so be sure to catch it if you can. You'll never forget it.
