Caro Fowler and Will Schmenner investigate the museum as a recurring cinematic space. Moving from Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Vertigo to Ghostbusters and Dressed to Kill, the conversation explores how films use museums as sites of attention, transgression, desire, and institutional critique. Fowler and Schmenner consider the relationship between cinema and painting, the politics of conservation and display, and the enduring tension between popular culture and “high” art, asking what happens when museums become spaces not only for education, but also for fantasy, memory, and social encounter.
