Antenna Audio, which provides audio and audio visual tours at museums, historic sites, exhibits, etc. around the world, has launched an iPhone application with the National Gallery in the UK, which is the first ever gallery to make its paintings accessible through a downloadable iPhone application.
Love Art features 250 paintings from the collection along with around 200 minutes of audio and video content – designed to appeal to art enthusiasts and fans of the Gallery, this application is the first of its kind to be released by a major gallery.
Their amusing tag line is This is your collection. Please touch the art. With this application, you can get up close and personal with the art in a way that’s not even possible in a museum. Yep, you can zoom in on a painting. And touch it. So for those of you that have always wanted to reach out and touch a piece of art, now is your chance.
The application allows you to select a theme (love, passion, death, beauty, hope, etc) and view related art with the stories behind each painting provided via audio and video commentary. You can also view paintings based on types, such as cityscapes, portraits, or religious.
This is a fairly innovative, well-designed app. I’m pretty impressed by it. The application is available for free through the iTunes store (iTunes link) for a limited time only.
