The Art of Gothic | Intro | BBC Select

This BBC Select art history documentary spends some time down in the dungeon as it delves into the world of the Gothic.

But what attracted them to the dark side? Stream the three part documentary series with BBC Select: US: CA: BBC Select is the new home for documentaries. Available in the U.S and Canada.
