The Science Museum, London, has released an iPad app that gives users the chance to explore 14 different interactive journeys specially crafted by its curators.
The
Journeys of Invention app, developed with Touch Press, allows for the exploration of over 80 objects from the museum’s collection, including journeys inside the Apollo 10 Command Module and a World War II Enigma Machine.
Users are given two free journeys to explore, with 12 others being offered as an add-on package bought through the app at a cost of £6.99 (US$11.42, €8.37).
The two free journeys come in the form of ‘Connected’ and ‘New Science’, with the former showcasing how technology has developed connectivity, from the early birth of the train network through to the use of modern digital devices.
"Journeys of invention is at once awe-inspiring and intimate," said Dr Andrew Nahum, lead curator at the museum.
"It is like having a curator take you on a series of guided tours through some of the most magnificent objects in our collection, with each journey bringing to life the story of a key scientific idea."
