The Art of Babbling
"ArtBabble was conceived, initiated, designed, built, sculpted, programmed, shot, edited, painted and launched by a cross-departmental collection of individuals at the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA). It is intended to showcase video art content in high quality format from a variety of sources and perspectives."

The New York Public Library's exhibit used four videos that explored what happens when five artists come one of the world's largest libraries in search of inspiration for their next project. Hosted by Grace Bonney of the Design*Sponge blog, Design by the Book follows a glassblower, letterpress printer, ceramicist, pattern designer, and graphic designer as they uncover hidden treasures in The New York Public Library and then return to their studios ready to design... by the book.
I was pleased to find the Art Treasures of the NYPL included digital images of Paul Poiret Art Deco fashion. I discovered a lecture by Paul Low on The Abundant Childhood: Nature, Creativity and Health.
From the Louvre comes eleven videos about Roman Art. What is termed Webisodes consist of short videos that highlight themes from the Louvre's collection and Roman history.
