Synopsis

Whether it's the famous steps of the Titanic or the legendary lunar landing of Apollo 13, there is no museum exhibit that the expert builders at Creative Arts Unlimited, Inc. can't re-create. Viewers will follow these highly skilled craftsmen as they use their expertise to meticulously rebuild history in museums across the nation. Led by Roger Barganier (co-founder, president and creative director), the team at Creative Arts Unlimited, approach each build with a determination to tell a story. Every exhibit that is produced by the Museum Men is engaging, informative, and historically accurate. No detail is overlooked, because for Creative Arts authenticity is everything. In addition to building for museums, Creative Arts also re-creates items for private collections. But whoever the recipient may be, every build poses unique challenges, including hard-to-find research, demanding schedules, and obsolete methods of construction.

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
harley50444 Being a model builder myself I was excited about this show. Well I waited patiently hoping it wouldn't be another screaming and hollering we got to get this done in a few days show with ridiculous deadlines. Saw the first episode and right off the bat, "we got 30 days to get this done" with a little arguing and drama. OK I can bear it. Just started watching the second episode and a few minutes in they said they only have 31 day to build this German sub. I can see where this is going. I'm still going to watch the series and maybe if I'm lucky I can peek in between the "reality" part and actually see how they make their models. Hopefully it won't get out of control. Time will tell.
bdl7431 Well, I am watching the premier episode of Museum Men - another "reality" series from the History Channel folks. Right now I am very disappointed.Why? At least in the first episode - it looks like they are focusing on the personalities and basically ignoring things like techniques and the piece parts of the creative process. It feels a lot like Storage Wars - not surprising since it is from the same production company. We see hard cuts and cliff hanging moments that break into commercials.I wish they would speak more to HOW they are building things - they show polystyrene foam - they don't talk about how they are forming it, painting it, making it LOOK good. I realize they have to make the show appeal to a large audience - but they could of at least said - We are drawing the image on the foam, we use hot wire and shaping tools to make it take the shape, we paint it with urethane based paint...nothing serious, but maybe they could of inspired someone to pick up some foam and tools and try to make something.To be fair - they do some nice educational bits in the show about the displays they are building. But it could be so much more.Overall - maybe it will get better - but I am not hopeful......UPDATE - I just watched a couple more episodes - my original opinion remains the same. It is mostly about personalities, and very little on technique.Also I am having a very hard time believing that all these museums have 30 day turnarounds for projects. I have spent a great deal of time working as either a volunteer or a professional in museums and I cannot conceive a situation where this happens. Either a bunch has incredibly poor planning or else something has been dramatized........
