The Art card

Theatrium ProWorks with: Any Apple TVAbout 2 minutes to set up

Paintings from the world's great museums, changing through the day, with the title and artist quietly at the foot.

What it shows

A painting, filling the card, from the open collections of museums such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the Met, the Rijksmuseum and the National Gallery of Art. Every work shown is one its museum has released for free use. The title, artist, year and museum sit over the foot of the picture, or can be turned off.
