In her home in Studio City, Los Angeles, Christianshavn-born Danish author, collector, and gallerist MUS WHITE recalls moments from the 60 years she has lived in California, having left Denmark upon her high school graduation. She talks about starting out as a juvenile probation officer, then becoming a published author and translator, a historical photography dealer and exhibition maker along with her husband, and a recognized collector of photographically illustrated children's books.

Mus selects a work by Vilhelm Hammershøi from the SMK collection.
