Hello, I'm Oliver Conway, and in this edition, from guarding art to exhibiting his own at a world-famous museum.

I never dreamed like one day I would be standing in the midst as an artist in a major exhibit.

It's surreal, it's magical.

We meet the security guard whose kindness to a visitor led to his own work going on display.

Also, it was just instant, absolutely amazing.

I was in disbelief.

No, I've got the confidence to grow and meet people again.

A new treatment that can improve the lives of people with Parkinson's. The potential health benefits of non-alcoholic beer?

The longest story ever told. And why a tiny kingdom known for keeping global influences out has welcomed one of the

world's biggest stars.

The Bhutanists are very in tune with pop culture, be it Western pop.

I don't think he'll be corrupting.

But we start with the remarkable story of a man who's gone from guarding works of art

to having his own sculpture on display at one of the world's most famous museums.

Amir Khalil graduated from art school in his home country of Egypt,

but after moving to the US in 2006, he ended up working as a security guard

at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In his free time, he kept up working as a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

In his free time, he kept up his passion for sculpting, and one day a chance encounter led to an

opportunity he'd always dreamed of. Armia told Holly Gibbs how the Met Museum had inspired him

almost since he arrived in New York. Once I moved, of course, the reality was different.

It's not like a movie.
