I am an art historian and I am convinced that art is perfectly fit to get closer to history while enjoying sensual diversion.


During my experience as an art mediator, I soon recognized that people are interested in art but that the immersion is affected by not particularly interesting ways of mediation. Moreover, the thematical spectrum of one exhibition is quite limited.


I want to change that! Here you will find E-Lectures that offer easy access and review of a selection of artworks that usually would require visits to multiple museums.


So lay back and enjoy the vivid storytelling of art at any time and any place.
