If you’ve ever seen a painting behind glass, or a barrier in front of a sculpture, you might have wondered, ‘why can’t I touch that?’ So why can’t you touch art? And as the world of art constantly evolves, is this changing?

In this new series of five films, Questions about Art, we'll explore some frequent musings about art - using questions asked by our audiences. What makes a painting iconic? Who decides what art is worth? Is art actually good for you? Check back weekly for new videos, and get involved in the comments below.

Narrated by Michael Pedersen.
