More Phonecasting: This Time from the National Gallery of Art in DC
About a month ago we posted that The Lincoln Memorial now allows visitors and/or Internet visitors to learn about Honest Abe and the LM via the telephone and info provided by park rangers. The service is free and comes from the National Park Service.
Today, we can add that The National Gallery of Art (also in DC) now allows users to learn about a small but growing selection of paintings using the telephone. Simply walk up to one of several paintings, look for a number (1-10) dial-a-telephone number and voila, knowledge follows.
The number: (1) 202-595-1857. The call is free. Of course, your local phone plan will determine any changers for the call itself.
OK, so you are not going to be able to make it do DC soon? No worries. All of these paintings are included (with an image, provenance, and more) in the NGA Online Database.
