The Natural History Museum in Vienna is one of the most important scientific museums in the world. In this film, director Florian Gebauer takes a look behind this magnificent building’s façade, through the planning and opening of an exhibition on the topicSell by Dates, and presents a portrait of the daily routines of the people who research, build, fill out, guide, collect and organise things. The collection comprises an estimated 30 million items, but only a fraction of them are accessible to the public. The film tells the story of curious and exciting objects and shows how the 250 year old collection still offers small and big sensation.
