Permanent Collection
PERMANENT COLLECTION logo

Loosely based on the real story of the Barnes Foundation of suburban Philadelphia. The eccentric creator and benefactor of the fictional Morris Foundation takes an odd turn when he wills his important art collection to an historically black college. When the college selects an African-American businessman as the museum’s director, he discovers significant African sculptures stored away and intends to display them, setting off gripping battles on both racial and artistic fronts. The Los Angeles Times called Permanent Collection “sophisticated and deft.”
