Connectivity

The website and app versions of this audio guide require a mobile data connection. Wifi is not appropriate, as the museum is large, there are several dead spots in the building. We recommend that you use your personal 4G connection through your internet service provider.

Our audio guide is a thin client, so data usage should be low. One visit should not use more than 30 MB of data.

Listen to the content

We recommend that you bring your own helmet to use. For health reasons, we cannot lend helmets to our visitors.

It is possible to listen to the audio guide by placing your phone close to your ear, but please turn down the volume so that it does not disturb other visitors.

Follow your visit

The tour through the main rooms of the museum uses picture stops that follow the visitors' route through the museum.

Each stop has a photo to guide you on your audio journey.

Checks

The recording can be played back via a small player with start, pause and stop controls. You can also adjust the volume using the standard controls on your phone.

Below the audio player you will find two buttons. The green Next button will take you to the next step in your route. Once you have listened to the recording, you should select this option.

The red Summary button will take you back to the table of contents, the selection relating to your visit. This can be useful if you get lost or want to listen to a recording again.

Each audio recording is followed by a transcription. This is partly for the hearing impaired, but also for anyone who prefers to listen rather than read.
