How do you go about merging three well established museums into one giant National Museum? When a new National Museum is being built in Norway, everybody does their very best to make the best museum possible. But what does best really mean? With unique access, this observational documentary from the construction of the largest museum in the Nordic countries points us to the question of what art really is, how the new museum will face the challenges of our times and who an art museum really is for?
