Thank you for using Gallery Explorer! We’ve exciting updates based on your feedback:
“Scan Art” – See the new Scan Art button in the app? You can now simply scan QR codes next to artworks to learn more about them! QR codes are currently installed for highlights of the Between Worlds: Raden Saleh and Juan Luna and Colours of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay exhibitions (City Hall Wing, Level 4, Singtel Special Exhibition Gallery), which are on display until 11 March 2018. Over time, we’ll continue to add QR codes for remaining key artworks at the Gallery.
“Hold to ear” – Don’t forget, you can listen to artwork narration simply by holding the phone to your ear (no earphones required!). Combined with the Scan Art feature, we believe this makes for a pretty awesome exhibition viewing experience!
