Two that come to my mind are Thomas Crown Affair, about art theft. And
my particular favorite, The Great Muppet Caper, where Kermit et al break
into a museum to steal the famed Baseball Diamond.
I know you didn't ask about TV, but I find the portrayal of Ross's
museum coworkers in Friends to be both completely dead-on and way off
the mark at the same time.

Subject: Re: novels and films set in museums
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!
