    It's not too bad overall. Does a good job in showing a lot of art and buildings, clear and orderly. However, it gets a little slow with the monotone naration and interviews. Several of the art pieces, when detail is shown in close ups, are clearly prints of the art. Filming the actual art work would of given better quality, instead of prints of the work. Still, it's not too bad overall. A very good art information/history film, but not great.
