Bringing new people to your museum is a worthwhile challenge. It keeps your funding alive, encourages patron interaction, and helps to keep your exhibit list fresh.
This challenge exists for all museums, regardless of the size of the museum. Large museums funded by government organizations…
We’ve been busy hacking away at the new Mused for iPhone application. It has really been a long journey. We are about 2 years into the development of a homegrown database containing the most detailed collection of information on museums that we have seen. We have talked with so many individuals who like to visit museums, and probably and equal number of people who don’t visit museums. Most people we have talked to seem to be interested in learning more about fun things to do and interesting places to visit. We have also talked with a lot of you that work at museums, and it seems like many of you are looking for ways to bring in new visitors.
We have built a backend service that powers the iPhone app, as well as a special website for museums to claim their listing or submit their museum to our database (you can find that at the Mused Curator Portal and I suggest you add your museum if you haven’t already).
Hang in there for a little while longer! We just want the app to work well for you. Our company is so small and there are only a few of us. We’re still going through a private testing period. In the meantime, here’s a little teaser screenshot of the current version of Mused (version 1.5).
Ness (@Likeness) is one of the most beautiful iPhone apps on the App Store. One of my new favorites. http://t.co/0TdfVWH
I absolutely agree. It’s better than what I even envisioned an old project of mine (WeLikeFood) with the same concept would look like.
