4 Hours of Classical Art & Music 🎨 Museum Radio — Paintings for Focus, Study & Relaxation

Welcome to Museum Radio. Settle in for four hours of great paintings, shown whole and unhurried — each artwork stays on screen for four minutes with a slow zoom — set to a bed of classical music. Made for focusing, studying, reading, working, or just winding down. All 60 artworks are public domain / CC0, courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Open Access (28 works), The Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access (29 works), and the Smithsonian Open Access (3 works). Music is public-domain classical recordings (Musopen via Wikimedia Commons), including Grieg, Bach, Mozart, Borodin, Bizet, and Mendelssohn.
