An exhibit I found fascinating in the permanent collection was a set of movie clips from '30s, '40s, and '50s that used the same painting by Diego Rivera, Flower Carrier, 1935, as part of the set. Rivera is most known for his later works as a famous Mexican muralist, and more recently as the (two-time) husband of Freda Kahlo.
See the painting photo at http://gardenofpraise.com/art24.htm.
Of course, the movies were in black and white.
