82nd & Fifth is the address of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It is also, according to the Met’s website, “the intersection of art and ideas.”

Throughout 2013, the Met invited 100 curators from across the Museum to talk about 100 works of art that changed the way they see the world, and eleven Museum photographers to interpret their vision: one work, one curator, two minutes at a time.
This is a jewel of a website with an outstanding user experience. Subtle, yet loud; comforting and surprising; vibrant, while restrained, it represents 200 minutes of insight, education, and commentary delivered in two-minute video chunks.
Enjoy! 82nd and Fifth Online—
