The OpenCourser team is based in New York, surrounded by new sounds, sights, thoughts, and ideas. If you've ever lived in a big city or visited one, you're probably well aware of how much culture you can discover in them.
Every few weeks or so we'll hit up a museum, theater, or performance center. It's a neat way to learn and uncover something new outside the books, articles, and online courses we peruse.
Of course, being non-artists, most of our learning often comes from placards or program guides. In part to rely a tiny bit less on those and to build out more contextual knowledge about the arts, we turned to the rich catalog of online courses available here.
