Film screening: Monuments Men

As part of the exhibition Une bibliothèque dans la tourmente, the Humanist Library and Le Select cinema are joining forces to plunge you into one of the world's greatest treasure hunts...

At the height of the Second World War, seven men who are anything but soldiers - museum directors and curators, artists, architects and art historians - throw themselves into the heart of the conflict to rescue works of art stolen by the Nazis and return them to their rightful owners. But these treasures were hidden right in the heart of enemy territory. Their chances of success are slim to none. In an attempt to prevent the destruction of a thousand years of art and culture, these Monuments Men will embark on an incredible race against time.

Film by George Clooney.

Ages 12 and up.
