Known for painting “The Scream” – which recently set a public art auction record of $120 million for one of the four paintings – Munch’s exhibition has been hailed a "once-in-a-lifetime show." Hosted by the National Museum and the Munch Museum, both in Oslo, Norway, the event will feature the most ambitious presentation of Munch’s art ever featuring 220 paintings – the greatest number of Munch’s key works ever. The cinema event will take audiences through the process of putting the exhibition together as well as an in-depth biography of the man who lived from the mid-19th century through to the German occupation of Norway in World War II.

The final exhibition in the "Exhibition" series, “Vermeer and Music: The Art of Love and Leisure,” features the works of Vermeer who is most popularly known as the painter of the “Girl with a Pearl Earring.” The National Gallery, London focuses on his art in relation to music in this particular exhibition. Music was one of the most popular themes of Dutch painting and revealed an enormous amount about the portrait model and the society. The event tells the entire story of Vermeer's life and, in doing so, shows in detail many of the artist's great works including how his technique and materials affected his works.
