From theft and authentication to forensics and fables, SECRETS OF THE EXHIBIT opens the doors that shield the average patron from the mayhem and mystery involved in the world of curators charged with the duty of capturing and preserving history. From chain mail to dinosaurs, from war to works of art, each episode will engage the audience with stories and timely visuals that will both surprise and intrigue.
