The museum's wartime history has been depicted, heavily fictionalized, several times on film. In John Frankenheimer's 1964 film "The Train", starring Burt Lancaster and Jeanne Moreau, Rose Valland is represented as Mademoiselle Villard, played by Suzanne Flon. In George Clooney's 2014 film "The Monuments Men", Valland is represented as Claire Simone, played by Cate Blanchett. In Anatole Litvak's 1967 film "The Night of the Generals", Peter O'Toole's character General Tanz visits the museum and is transfixed by a self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh, referenced as "Vincent In Flames".
