We all make our own ghosts – we take the people and experiences and events that have affected us the most, and encourage them to haunt us. “Museum” is, on every level, replete with ghosts and hauntings. Penny, the narrator and filmmaker, is obsessed with the impossible task of capturing the ghosts that reside within her life on film (the most literal and unforgiving of mediums). Yet even as she struggles with this mission (one common to many image-takers), her own substance and “realness”are brought into question, as her disembodied voice carries us through the narrative.
