We are excited to announce the release of a major update to the British Museum Audio app! We have added a new Interactive Map feature that will make your visit to the Museum easier and more informative than ever before. Now, you can open the map from a tour, an audio guide stop or a room screen, or quickly access it from the bottom tab bar.
With the new Interactive Map, you can locate stops on a tour and see where individual objects and galleries are located within the Museum. This will help you better prepare for your visit, find your way around the Museum, and make sure you don't miss any of the highlight objects on display.
We hope you enjoy the new Interactive Map and look forward to welcoming you to the Museum soon!
