Yes, it's a short of the most recent Superman movie (2025), but what's so weird about it is that the interior is that of Cincinnati Museum Center.
My wife used to work there in both the Natural History Museum and the Cincinnati Historical Society, and we used to take the kids there on a regular basis when they were growing up.
So yeah, I know nothing else of the movie or the scene, but looking at the interior of the rotunda like that is... Well, it's a bit much.
In case you're wondering whether they touched up the rotunda very much, here's a video of a performance of Debussy's Arabesque No. 1 on the Wurlitzer organ at the Museum Center. The pipes are hidden from view, but the main portion of the Wurlitzer is right on the border from the rotunda to the walkway that leads towards the Omnimax Theater and the Amtrak station.

You know that gorilla thing, where the man in the gorilla suit walks across the shot and only about 1 in 10 people see it? I just read your post, clicked on the images, looked at those, then watched the movie clip all the way through, got to the end and thought "What? I didn't see any murals..."
ReplyDeleteSo I ran it a second time, looking for them, and saw them straight away. The brain is weird. Also, now I want to watch the Superman movie. I might watch it after lunch since I have it on DVD.
