The Met used to upload full length talks and lectures to ITunes.  Then they ceased doing that and shifted to these shorter, largely inferior commentaries. Now, even these have stopped. How about resuming your commitment to full-length content for the thousands of art history students, scholars, and (for lack of a better term) dedicated art nerds that don&#39;t live near NYC?  Would love to see some lectures or symposia go online that relate to an exhibition held over the last year or so....perhaps something related to the new American Galleries or the Renaissance Portraiture exhibition?  In fact, I&#39;m pretty sure it&#39;s been over 2 years since anything new of substantial length has been added here.  Yet foolishly I keep checking every week as if something significant and new may yet appear....

Come on, Met friends!  Pick up the ball.

What happened to the content?

This is a great idea. I hope you will do more of them. They give ways of looking at the collection that are more personalized and accessible than the standard art history scholarship approach. I also hope you will freshen up your iTunes U site generally, but this is a great start.

Very well done
