National Museum of Wildlife Art Launches Mobile App.
National Museum of Wildlife Art (NMWA) took a big digital leap forward this week with the launch of their new mobile app powered by Cuseum.
The new NMWA app allows visitors to experience curated tours and special content to make the best of their time at the museum. Visitors can now enjoy a guided tour of the museum’s popular Sculpture Trail and other special exhibitions.
The Sculpture Trail tour begins with a video of sculptor Sandy Scott speaking about the installation of her monumental sculpture, Presidential Eagle. The app also includes numerous pieces of multimedia produced by Storm Show Studio’s Darrell Miller and Amy Goicoechea, the museum’s Director of Programs & Events. Watch Richard Loffler speak about “Buffalo Trail” or Gwynn Murrill discuss “Coyote V.” The library of video content includes interviews with esteemed artists such as Tim Shinabarger and Simon Gudgeon, plus many more.
In the official announcement from the museum they announced that “with this interpretive companion on the Sculpture Trail, sculptures and their creators come alive from every angle.”
“Cuseum is thrilled to be partnering with the National Museum of Wildlife Art to help drive visitor engagement through this new mobile app. With the National Museum of Wildlife Art mobile guide, visitors can take guided tours and learn more about works of art through rich multimedia and artist interviews.” - Brendan Ciecko, CEO & Founder of Cuseum
