High Museum’s Audio Guides Tell The Story Of Art In Sound

Radio producers often try to paint a picture — so to speak — with sound in order to put the listener in the story. Atlanta’s High Museum does the same thing with their major exhibits.

In this audio story, producer Myke Johns explores a new exhibit. But instead of focusing on the artwork, he takes a look at one of the hidden processes behind-the-scenes: the making of the audio guide.

Johns speaks with Head of Museum Interpretation Julia Forbes and with Consulting Curator Gary Radke about the work which went into creating the guide for their current exhibit “Habsburg Splendor.”
