Every year, the acclaimed lectures given by Rosamond Bernier at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are sold out months in advance. Her enthusiastic audiences would agree with Calvin Tomkins, who wrote in The New Yorker, "Her lectures are really conversations -- intimate chats about artists, their friends , their society, and their work. She has transformed one of the more dubious events of our time -- the art lecture illustrated with slides -- into something scintillating."

Now Rosamond Bernier’s lectures are available on DVDs only.  These are recordings of live performances as they were given – “Live at the Met!”  Your chair at home can become the  seat you couldn’t buy in New York.

DVD titles may be ordered online through KULTUR.   Do a Kultur Product Search using ‘Bernier’ to get a list of all the lectures available.  If you use ‘Bernier DVD code’ you will find the specific DVD.
