@clinker243 yeah, it would be way better if someone shot a full hour continuous shot of you trolling youtube in your parents' basement.

If you like this then watch Aleksandr Sukorov's superb film Russian Ark, one continuous eighty-seven minute long unedited shot in the St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum. Give a thought to cameraman Tilman Buttner who was close to collapse from the weight of the steadicam by the end of the shot. Truly amazing feat of organisation, direction and filming!

I have heard rumor that there are more copies of great paintings hanging in the great museums than the museums would like us to know because the originals are too expensive or priceless or damaged to risk showing. Who knows?

Great stuff thanks. I wouldnt class myself as someone who has a great interest in art. But Andrew Graham-Dixon always brings the subject to life, and makes it interesting to the lay man. I love watching his programs on BBC 4.

Again thanks.
