Mr. Ellis' Exhibition (retitled Mr. Ellis’ Art Exhibition for North-American audiences) is the fifth episode of the seventh season.
Plot
Mr. Ellis' new art exhibition gets ruined while renovating the museum's annex and needs the roof and the floor to match the rest of the building. Everything has to be done before something gets worse.
JJ suggests using materials from a demolished house which may still be at the recycling centre, but Spud has already used some of the floorboards for a sculpture.
