You know that feeling when you wander off the beaten path and stumble upon something incredible?

Like a great ice cream stand, or that perfect strip of beach,

or the way I felt the first time I walked into the Addison Gallery of American Art,

a jewel of a museum in Andover, Massachusetts, with a positively world-class collection,

90 years in the making. I felt like I discovered something

magical and after the year we've just had all I want to do is share it with you.

I'm Tamara Vichai, host of the Lonely Pallet podcast, and your guide through the Addison

in Look with Your Ears.

A three-part podcast series that celebrates the Addison's 90th anniversary

and brings their exquisite collection to you, wherever you are.

We'll explore a diverse selection of their artworks

thematically, asking questions like how dependent is abstract art on our

presence. What happens when photographers step out from behind the lens in order to both subvert and reclaim the traditional idea of the gaze?

And what does it do to a modern urban environment if we give it the same romantic treatment

as a classical landscape?

How do museums and art history itself evolved with us over the course of centuries or even just 90 years.

Let's find out together. I hope you'll join me.

The series will be released every two weeks starting Tuesday, May 18th.

You can listen to them on the Addison's website and on the Lonely Pallet's feed, which you can find wherever you get your podcasts. you're
