A woman wearing a leopard print vest, black turtleneck, and black pants is seated with one leg bent under her on a chair; she has on black, high heel boots. She looks forward, out of the photograph, but not quite directly at the viewer. What is most striking about her appearance, is her hair.  A high, teased white blond  bouffant, bisected by a thick blond braid wrapped around it.</p>

Is radio a visual medium? Henry Skerritt, Margo Smith and Matthew McLendon say "Yes!" Every week these Charlottesville-based curators take us on a quick audio tour of one of the works in their museum. Henry Skerritt is the Curator of the Indigenous Arts of Australia at the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum and Margo Smith is the Director. Matthew McLendon is the Director and Chief Curator at the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia.
