Synopsis

Do 21st-century women and men still believe that museums can, through the way they display art, help shape their visitors' sense of the dignity of the person ? Through the readings of history and style which they propose, can museums help bridge the gap that today seems to separate present from past, isolating individuals and groups in a contemporaneity without roots ? If so, how ? If not, why ?
