audio tours

Museum voice guides

Audio tours are pre-recorded guides that visitors listen to while exploring museums, historic sites, cities, or other points of interest.

Typically accessed through handheld devices, smartphone apps, or rented equipment, they provide narration, background information, and commentary timed to specific locations or exhibits.

The museum offers audio tours in twelve languages.

Audio tours allow visitors to move at their own pace while receiving curated information about what they're seeing.
