Art of the Western World I

82nd & Fifth is a new interactive website developed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.100 curators from across the Museum talk about 100 works of art that changed the way they see the world. Eleven Museum photographers interpret their vision: one work, one curator, two minutes at a time.  82nd & Fifth is a year-long series of 100 episodes.
