A first look from the set of the WWII film 'The Monuments Men'

So, if you’ve been living under a rock (because this book is flawless) The Monuments Men is a movie that is based on the true story of one of the greatest treasure hunts in history, focusing on an unlikely platoon—of museum directors, curators, and art historians—tasked with rescuing artistic masterpieces from the Third Reich and returning them to their rightful owners. 

Thanks to the National WWII Museum for this link on twitter.
