This exhibition was created by Jake Barton and James Sanders and is narrated by Stanley Tucci. This fascinating film shows animated maps, archival photos and paintings and prints from the whole museum collection. "Timescapes" plays every half hour from 10:15-4:45 and it is well worth the time to see this creative masterpiece.
