Smithsonian.TV: A gateway to live online events and multimedia content

The Smithsonian Institution presents a wide variety of multimedia presentations on this section of its website. Included is the live panda cam of Mei Xiang and her cub Tai Shan, born July 9, 2005, archived arts events such as Senior Curator Richard Murray explaining the role of myth in Emanuel Leutze's historical painting Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way, interviews with Carol Burnette and Martin Scorcese, as well as virtual tours of the Smithsonian campus. For example, view the Smithsonian Libraries' "Chasing Venus" lecture series originally presented in April, May, and June 2004, on the occasion of the first of two transits of Venus - when the planet Venus passes directly between Earth and the Sun - to occur in this century (there will be another in 2012); or view performances from the National Museum of the American Indian grand opening last year. One caution to using the site – since the videos are in a variety of formats, they will not work exactly the same across all browsers and platforms - viewers may need to exercise a little patience waiting for videos to load.
