Customer Reviews
Love this Podcast!!
I have never been interested in art history, but I love how she breaks it down so even a novice like me can follow! The episodes are a perfect length so you can listen to them without getting sucked in for a long time. I’ve really missed museums during the pandemic, so this podcast has been fantastic for scratching that culture itch!

Really enjoyed listening to the history of the painting while looking at the pictures, it is like mini art excursion for me!
