Description

Ever feel overwhelmed when you visit a museum? Discover a better way to connect with art! Join lifelong art lover and museum fan Karen Jackson as she shares what she sees and discovers while looking at a work of art for minutes instead of the usual 6-10 seconds. Each episode opens with a unique experience — a short, vivid description of a work from one of Washington DC's world-class museums. Then you’ll find out the history, mystery or controversy behind the work or the artist! Episodes are less than 15 minutes. No jargon, just an easy-going, sometimes irreverent look at art and the very human stories behind it. The descriptions also provide blind or visually impaired listeners a way to enjoy art.
