Visiting James Simon
Back to listSynopsis
Berlin, 1915. The renowned art collector James Simon gives us a private tour of his fabulous collection and shares stories and personal insights. James Simon talks about his love for art and how it all began. At a certain moment we have to decide what part of his collection we are most interested in - so it is our choice what we see and how the tour continues. James Simon does not give us a an art-history lesson, he always shows us his personal connection and therefore we also get a personal and emotional access to the art pieces he loves.
