Okay, I apologize for answering twice, but I just went to www.imdb.com, clicked on ‘more searches’ where you can search by keyword in many different fields. I entered ‘museum’ in the word search, selected plot as the field, and came up with 100 matches. You might want to take a look – there are some good ones there.

Subject: Re: novels and films set
in museums
I think there is a pretty comprehensive archive topic on this--I'm remembering this thread from a few years ago...two of my favorites are "The Thomas Crown Affair" (new version with Pierce Brosnan eating his sandwich in one of the galleries) and "The Relic".
Good luck,
Ali

I'm teaching an "Introduction to Museum Studies" course next year.
I plan to
examine popular images of museums by having students read novels and/or watch
films that are about, or set in, museums. Any suggested titles?
Thanks!
