Today, Perth Museum launched a new, digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and cultural app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Bloomberg Connects makes Perth Museum accessible for either on-site or off-site visits through photo, audio, and video features, offering insights into The Stone of Destiny and the permanent collections on display at Perth Museum.
The guide features an audio guide tour of the museum as well as information on the history of the building and the Stone of Destiny. Helen Smout, Chief Executive at Culture Perth and Kinross said, “The Bloomberg Connects digital guide will enhance visits to Perth Museum by sharing stories with everyone. Our partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies helps us focus on accessibility and cultural connection, allowing people to experience Perth and Kinross’ heritage in more meaningful ways than ever before.”
Bloomberg Connects offers free digital guides to cultural organisations around the world. The platform is part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ longstanding commitment to supporting digital innovation in the arts. Bloomberg Connects makes it easy to access and engage with arts and culture from mobile devices when visiting in person, or anytime from anywhere. With dynamic content exclusive to each partner organization, it provides a range of features including video, audio, and text; expert commentary; and way-finding maps.
