« For over twenty years we have filmed at night in the most important museums in the world. It's the only possible time to film the empty halls or the precious artifacts out of the windows because there are no visitors. But at night the Museum changes face.

I always wanted to transmit and give this atmosphere that I breathed to viewers. » (Alberto Angela)
