Hidden behind the masterpieces in the Met, there is another world: the hallways, offices, conservation studios, storerooms, and cafeterias that are home to the museum's devoted and peculiar staff of 2200 people, along with a few ghosts. This is a series of amusing and poignant vignettes that is an ode to the lives lived for art. It is a powerful collage of human experience and the world of the imagination.
