Abstract

This article aims to highlight some aspects that mark the cinematographic representation of museum, in the belief that movies are profitable to comprehend the nature of museum institution and the way it acts on the imaginary. It will be considered some movies (Night at the Museum; Russian Ark; Belfégor; Bande à part; All the Vermeers in New York; Dressed to Kill, La Ville Louvre), with a focus on Straub-Huillet’s Une visite au Louvre, where the idea of narrative sequence is challenged, bringing back cinema to an intensive immobility and suggesting that museum can be a place of a shared poetics.
