In this time of isolation, Olivia Meehan thought it might be interesting to consider the art of looking, the practice of seeing and describing, and in the case of podcasts, the serenity of just listening.

In this second episode of her series to explore the Museum From Home programs, she will be taking us to Nezu Museum in Tokyo. At the end of the episode, the audience will be hearing Robyn Archer's reading of In Praise of Shadows.
