The Louvre is enormous and unfortunately on both occasions I've been there I have had limited time so have not explored the entire museum. Two nights ago I went there virtually however on my iphone. What fun! We explored the parts we had seen and discovered a few that we had missed. We even got up close and personal with some of the art which we had not of course been able to do when we were there for real three years ago.
The app is divided into these sections: Tour of the Louvre, Artworks, The Palace, and Visitor Information. Included in the application is a map of the gallery, video's and commentaries. I would hope that as time goes on the app will expand it's collection but in the meantime it is a most enjoyable way to spend 15 minutes in one of the greatest art museums of the world.
Navigation is very agreeable, the application is free and I'm happy! Which other museum applications do you have on your iphone or ipod touch?
