Video 1) It starts off with pictures of the museum, before it was open, and of a man that looks to be the creator. Then it transitions into the inside of the museum, and shows the exhibits and pictures and beautiful artwork from the Latin American culture all put to what sounds like Latin salsa background music.

Video 2) This video was a homemade tour of the museum, It looks like it was semi-pro it captured some great close-ups focusing on the artwork. This video had a lot of great shots, and it was definitely a labor of love and passion for the Latin American arts. It could have used better music however.

Video 3) This was by far the best video out of the three. They way they captured the art was astonishing. Their angles, and camera work was amazing. This video made we want to drive down there and see the exhibits first hand. From the sounds of the people they interviewed, they felt the same way.
