Especially for the younger generation, this might be the perfect bridging point to engage them in the history and beauty of museum and art pieces.Mobile Mediahttp://www.fetchmedia.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931042383463966050.post-90399034611844459352011-02-06T20:29:25.783-05:002011-02-06T20:29:25.783-05:00Thanks Danee for your comment--I bet there are mob...Thanks Danee for your comment--I bet there are mobile devices like the MFA's in NYC museums--I just haven't had a chance to see them yet--if you come across some, I'd love to hear about them.

I think most museums need to make themselves more accessible for non-frequent visitors and children and these guides look like they can do that and keeps kids interest with that TV-like screen. Cool to see- I hope they come to some museums in NYC!Danee Gilmartinhttp://museumchick.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2931042383463966050.post-46359736536432235672011-01-13T23:44:55.961-05:002011-01-13T23:44:55.961-05:00Since you are one of my favorite museum-related bl...Since you are one of my favorite museum-related bloggers, I'm passing the Stylish Blogger Award on to you! <br /><br />There's a little web badge that goes with it and everything!

Interesting to see that for some visitors, like us, really a way to go deeper, but not just with audio.<br /><br />And Nantucket Cook--since you're a cooking person as well, hope you'll check out my other project, The Pickle Project http://kck.st/gCeJrj and share with others.

I choose to review the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art's mobile audio tour. The audio tours could be accessed on a personal smartphone, iPod, or borrow an iPod from the information desk. Since I was using an iPhone to acces the audio tour, I could easily go back to the tour after taking photos. <br /><br />Overall, I really enjoyed the Nelson-Atkins audio tour (I focused on the Ancient collection; includes Greek, Roman and Egyptian)--esp. the music files before the introduction(s) to a different time period or area. Including music in the tour grabbed my attention! <br /><br />I think mobile media in museums can allow all ages, esp. those that are always on their phones, to learn more or at least grab their attention. <br /><br />Samantha<br />http://museuminternmusings.blogspot.comSamanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146219610418531109noreply@blogger.com
