The Collection | Whispering Gallery Podcast

The WGP Collection

Join our community of listeners for a spooky cool, or rather, spooky ghoul time! The Whispering Gallery podcast “Collection” explores the spooky, spine-tingling and hard-to-believe art stories; including cursed paintings and gems, paintings and prints of monsters, hauntings, UFOs and more. We look at art history a little differently. Each episode is inspired by and expands on a piece(s) of art, or art related topic. Please review the WGP Citations and Attributions for more details about the art.

Learn about the spooky side of art guided by artists from around the world, and throughout history. Suzanne Nikolaisen sparks your imagination with spine-tingling and hard-to-believe art stories that are best told after dark.
