The Met goes virtual
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has plans to turn their prestigious art museum more "technology-friendly". The museum has taken on the daunting task of wiring its huge facility for Wi-Fi, so that visitors can access the app that correlates to the artwork on display. In the future, a more advanced program will be available to visitors with smart phones or tablet computers, so that they can quickly view text, narrations, and images of the artwork. This more entertaining approach to museum experiences will hopefully draw a broader audience and help "demystify the museum".
