Claudia Kincaid, feeling unappreciated and bored, decides to run away from home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. She convinces her younger brother, Jamie, to join her because he has a secret stash of money. They secretly live in the museum, hiding from staff and exploring at night. Their adventure takes a thrilling turn when a new statue of an angel arrives, believed to be a lost work by Michelangelo. Claudia becomes determined to prove its authenticity. Their search for clues eventually leads them to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the eccentric former owner of the statue, who challenges them to find the truth within her 'mixed-up files.' They succeed, discover the statue's secret, and return home changed by their extraordinary experience.
