Description

A little-known art museum in the central German city of Wiesbaden has just gotten a surprise gift for its 200-year anniversary: an unprecedented spike in young visitors, flocking in from around the world to view a single painting. "Ophelia" was painted around 1900 and depicts a character from Shakespeare. As Host Carolyn Beeler explains, it isn't the Bard who's inspiring visitors.
