About Pocket Curator: HoS Museum

Unlock the secrets of fascinating scientific instruments and artefacts in this visitor’s guide to the Museum of the History of the Science at the University of Oxford.

Featuring a powerful combination of bite-sized audio stories, animation and video explanations, and interactive demonstrations, Pocket Curator puts expert museum knowledge in the palm of your hand.

This first release of Pocket Curator offers information on seven objects spread across the three floors of the museum, including the famous ‘Einstein’s blackboard’ and equipment used by radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi in his first demonstration of wireless.

The app is designed to be used as part of a visit to the museum, although most of its content can be viewed outside the building.
