Multimedia Tour

New! Download iPhone application of the guided tour before your visit!

You can now view the Human Copyright exhibition with our iPod Touch multimedia guide. Learn about the fascinating story of human thought development and contribute to the thought process during your visit to the exhibition.

Descriptions, pictures, videos and interviews integrated in the multimedia guide encapsulate the exhibition and draw attention to major objects. During the last part of the tour entitled “artificial dialogue”, you can comment on the remarks made by thinkers interviewed in that part of the exhibition. Your comments will be posted in the video interview section of the “artificial dialogue” microsite.

The multimedia tour works with a Wi-Fi connection. To access it, you can:

  • Rent an iPod Touch at the entrance to the exhibit hall for $2. Please bring your driver’s license, health insurance card or student ID card for security. Limited quantity.
  • Use your own iPod Touch, iPhone, BlackBerry or cell phone connected to the Net. Use your own earphones or rent a set from us.
  • Download the free multimedia tour on your MP3 player or iPod.
    • WARNING! You must download the tour from your personal computer BEFORE your visit to the museum.
    • If you want to comment on interviews in the “artificial dialogue” part, you must visit the “artificial dialogue” microsite. You won’t be able to use this feature in the exhibition area since iPod audio and MP3 players cannot connect to the Internet.
