The Great Courses (previously The Teaching Company) ignites people's passion for lifelong learning by offering great courses taught by great professors.

Offered here is Museum Masterpieces: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, by Professor Richard Brettell, Ph.D., Yale University, currently the Margaret McDermott Distinguished Professor of Art and Aesthetics at The University of Texas at Dallas. 

"In these 24 visually rich, half-hour lectures, Professor Brettell takes you through The Metropolitan Museum of Art from front to back, from bottom to top, introducing practically every department in the museum. Each is a museum unto its own, representing one of the world's finest collections in its field. You will see an astonishing number of works—more than 400 in all—focusing on Professor Brettell's favorites, and in the process touching on virtually all of the best-known pieces in the museum, and many more besides. His is a personal tour, driven by his enthusiasm and a ceaseless curiosity to see riches of The Metropolitan Museum of Art unknown even to him." (The Great Courses)
