You don’t need to leave the comfort of your home or school to view great works of art. The National Gallery of Art’s Extension Program is an attempt to develop awareness in the visual arts and make its collections accessible to everyone, no matter how far away from the Gallery they may live. The Gallery offers free loans of over 150 videos, slide sets, films, teaching packets, and videodiscs, covering a wide variety of topics and time periods. The Gallery’s website also lets you tour the gallery and hear audio recordings regarding many of the works.
