The Art Musuem:

a visitors guide

What the project is

  • A digital toolkit designed to help museum visitors engage more meaningfully with art and exhibitions

  • The toolkit comes in the form of a laptop and tablet friendly training program to prepare the learner pre museum visit, and a set of mobile friendly, digital (and printable) prompt cards that will aid the learner during a museum visit.

  • Structured as an interactive ‘choose your own path’ journey through themed rooms: Think, Talk, Explore, Play.

  • Inspired by real museum experiences and adaptable for both educational and public audiences.

A museum map is used to navigate the training.
