Rijksmuseum for Android

We’ve done several museums and sites on our trip, including Versailles, Musee d’Orsay, and the Van Hogh. This has been the easiest to use, allows me to use my own earbuds, and I’ve appreciated the descriptions. I’m not generally knowledgeable about art, and the narration points out just enough background and subtle intent/meaning to make it enjoyable without being overbearing. And it’s free!

I pretty much never write reviews for apps, but this app made exploring the Rijksmuseum super easy and fun. I would highly recommend downloading it for your trip.

My account was connected to Facebook, but this app don’t have option to log in with Facebook.

Folks...same yourself €5 (what you will pay for the audio guide at the museum) and get this app for free. They are the same thing! I verified this with the museum!! Easy to navigate, the app has various tours from highlights to different collections. GPS helps you navigate from area to area (you’ll need to use the museum’s WiFi). Each description is around a minute and gives details beyond what printed signs have. There are also additional details if you want to learn more. I don’t have an art background so I appreciated hearing about techniques of the artist or interpretation of how they used light or symbolism in their work.

One of the best apps I've ever seen. You tell it how much you want to see. I told it I wanted the quick tour. It knew where I was and sequentially directed me to about 20 artworks. It displayed the artwork on my phone (sometimes it was too crowded to stand in front of the art for an extended time). Meanwhile, it gave a concise audio explanation of the artwork. It was better than the paid tour.
