Out of the ordinary Electra Havemeyer Webb and the Shelburne Museum /

"Electra H. Webb was born in 1888. Her parents taught her to appreciate all types of artwork, but her unique vision enabled her to see the merit in even workaday objects, and she collected items such as hunting decoys, weather vanes and pottery. In 1947, Electra began displaying her collection, and Vermont's Shelburne Museum was born. Family photos and reminiscences tell Electra's story, while art historians explain her vision and show important works."--Synopsis provided by producer
