The Met Museum in NYC has a website called 82 and 5th (which is their address in NYC). In it they have a list of 100 little art history lessons--in each a curator talks for two minutes (well, that is the pitch, most run just under 3 minutes) about one artwork in various departments in the museum collection. Very interesting and a lot of information in a little package. I watch these while waiting (if I have web connection) on the iPad. The only issue, no sound On some using the app! Though there are subtitles of the sound you should have.... Watching the original website seems more reliable. here's a great one from the fashion department:
