Museums in Quarantine(2020)

Museums in Quarantine is a documentary series that takes viewers inside the world's great national collections during pandemic lockdown. When doors closed to the public, curators and conservators continued their essential work behind the scenes, caring for priceless artifacts and preparing exhibitions that no one could visit. The series captures the quiet dedication of museum staff as they navigate unprecedented challenges: managing collections in isolation, adapting to digital futures, and wrestling with questions about access and preservation. Through intimate portraits of institutions from around the globe, Museums in Quarantine reveals how these cultural guardians adapted when the world stood still. It's a testament to the resilience of museums and the people who keep them alive, even when the galleries sit empty.
