Through the eyes of Met museum curators

The Metropolitan Museum of Art--under the imaginative leadership of its Director and CEO, Thomas P. Campbell--has launched 82nd & Fifth, an online video series in which each of one hundred curators discuss "a work of art from the Met's collection that changed the way he or see sees the world."

"One work. One curator. Two minutes at a time."

Six episodes are now posted and will be followed by two episodes weekly, every Wednesday at 11am—through December 25, 2013.
