The Tate Now on iTunes

This comes from the BBC Today. The Tate Britain Museum has put up a ton of free content for download on iTunes.

From the BBC Article:

The Tate galleries have made hundreds of video and audio downloads available for free on iTunes.

More than 400 files are now on iTunes U – a section of the online store which features educational content.

Projects include a series of films that use social networking site Twitter to bring the audience’s questions directly to artists like David Hockney.

There are also recent interviews with contemporary artists including Jeff Koons and Louise Bourgeois.

Clips of Turner Prize-winning artist Martin Creed and his band performing at the Tate Modern are featured alongside debates about his work.

Audio recordings of leading academics, teaching resources and multimedia guides for the latest Tate exhibitions will also be made available.

I’ve browsed through some of the selections and there is some pretty interesting stuff. To find it in iTunes, go the Itunes U section of the site and Search for Tate.
