Renovation of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum started in 2003. From the beginning, the plan was opposed by unyielding counter-forces. Director Oeke Hoogendijk filmed behind the closed doors of the museum for 10 years. What was meant to be a standard-length documentary grew into an epic about ambition, love of art—and finally the historic and emotional “homecoming” of the masterpieces in 2013.

AIA Houston is a community partner for this film screening.
