The free guide joins hundreds of cultural institutions around the globe
Today, Perth Art Gallery launched a new, digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and cultural app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Bloomberg Connects makes Perth Art Gallery accessible for either on-site or off-site visits through photo and audio features offering insights into the permanent collections, spotlighting works by John Everett Millais, JD Fergusson & Margaret Morris and Chila Burman.
The guide also showcases Stories from the Collections, that go behind the scenes, exploring the conservation and collections work that gets carried out as part of the maintenance of a nationally significant collection.
Rhona Corbett, Head of Museums and Collections said “We’re delighted to add Perth Art Gallery to Bloomberg Connects, offering visitors an engaging new digital guide to explore and discover more about our collections and exhibitions. Our continuing partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies helps us focus on accessibility and cultural connections, enabling more people to engage with Perth and Kinross’ heritage either in person or exploring from further afield.”
