Story Synopsis:
Bean finds the hilarious Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean, as an incompetent museum associate who is assigned to escort the world famous painting of “Whistler’s Mother” to its new home in California’s Grierson Gallery. What the museum owner (Harris Yulin) and his curator David Langley (Peter MacNicol) believe is that the eccentric Mr. Bean is actually renowned art expert Dr. Bean. Langley soon discovers that Bean is a clumsy, constantly mugging museum guard who knows absolutely nothing about the painting. But when something terrible happens to “Whistler’s Mother” just hours before her unveiling, only one man can put it right—and that man is Bean.
