Museum Explorer V 92
isitors to the National Museum of Scotland can find the ugliest, fierc- est, smelliest and oldest objects using the app Museum Explorer.
Visitors choose a category on their phone and then follow the clues to find the relevant object in the museum, which could be anywhere across its 36 galleries. The object categories are: fiercest; oldest; smelliest; ugliest; fairest; strongest; tallest; and bloodiest. When they’ve found an object, visitors unlock a badge and can take and share a photo of their discovery featuring a unique set of frames. There are eight challenges to solve, with a ninth object unlocked when all the others are found.
“We were keen to attract people who had already visited the museum and give them a reason for returning and an alternative way of exploring what’s there,” says Kirsty Tough, marketing and communications assistant. “We purpose- fully selected objects from areas of the museum that are slightly off the beaten track, as well as some all-time favourites, so there was a good spread of material. “We focused on nine objects, rather than 9,000, to make sure it didn’t feel overwhelming – we see the app as a gateway to further exploration.” The app was designed and developed
by Kotikan, Pocket Proof Ltd and staff at National Museums Scotland. l
