From the decade that brought you alternative commentary tracks: Slate offers its first unauthorized museum tour. Download eleven MP3s to your iPod, head for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and follow Lee Siegel's audio guide to the most overrated and underrated paintings in the modern art gallery.

(As it happens, I seem to recall disagreeing with Siegel a lot, but the idea is interesting.)

I heard a little bit of these alternative tours for MOMA on NPR yesterday, and it made me really want to visit and take that particular tour. I don't recall if it was the same guide (it was a pair of people in the one I heard), but it sounds interesting and entertaining.

Is this decade a brand now?
