Talk About Art is a six-minute meditation on art as expressed by an assortment of visitors at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. There are visitors from all walks of life, including students, a taxi driver, an architect, a security guard, and a hairdresser. These are not art historians, but art is a common bond for them, and definitely a force in their lives. For some art is a way to connect to the past; for others it is a way to see the world around them in a different way. Listening to their side of the museum experience may get you talking about art as well.
