A Masterwork On Your Screen: Museums Digitize Collections
Many of the most famous artworks in the world have long been available to audiences looking for them on the web. But until recently, one still had to travel to museums to fully experience those masterpieces. Now museums are presenting high-resolution images of masterpieces in the public domain, allowing viewers to observe colors and textures like never before. We'll explore how technology is bringing the public closer to art and if that changes how we experience it.
Guests
Peter Dueker, Head of digital imaging services, National Gallery of Art

Anne Goodyear, President, College Art Association; co-director, Bowdoin College Museum of Art

Tyler Green, Producer, host and editor, Modern Art Notes; columnist, Modern Painters magazine
