Customer Reviews
It's just missing one important element...
Wouldn't it be nice if we could see the work of art as we get the narration? It would certainly be easier than searching for it on the museum's website, either before or after the fact. And technically, it's not too difficult to accomplish. This would greatly enhance the experience of this podcast, especially for neophytes.
Interesting discussions on great art
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) podcasts provide some interesting background and insights into MoMA's wonderful collection. It is like having a MoMA curator take you on a personal tour. If you have never been to MoMA, or are not familiar with a particular piece being discussed, be sure to visit http://moma.org/collection and search for it. A great resource.
Like watching a movie with no video.
You need visuals when talking about art. Step into any art or art history classroom in the country and you'll see desks and projectors. Without seeing the work, the discussion is pointless, unless you already know what the work looks like. Please stop assuming that we all know what each work looks like and add some visuals.
