At Museums: Invasion of the Podcasts
go to article

How podcasting is taking off in the major museums in US. The good thing about it? It frees the audio tour from the physical confines of the museum. You can download and listen to them anywhere but I'm also mindfully aware that nothing beats looking at the real thing yourself at designated spaces. Art is afterall a visual and "bodily" experience. Podcasting offers secondary information and experience.
