Plot

Documentary filmmaker Jessica Yu takes us inside one of the world's most unusual art museums -- a gallery inside the Creedmore Psychiatric Center in Queens, New York, where all the art is created by mental patients. Pondering the fascinating (if disturbing) notion that emotional disturbance may unlock certain doors of creativity, The Living Museum allows us to meet several of Creedmore's artists and find out what drives them as we consider their work.
