A Great Museum Guide
by sariqueen
I’m a museum docent in Dallas and was recently at the Rijksmuseum with friends. They wanted me to guide them through, but of course I’m not current on the collection there, so I directed them to this app. It is fabulous! The fact that you can go through on several preset tours or choose to explore the works of art by corresponding number is great. I enjoyed listening to the descriptions of the things I missed days afterward. My friends, new to museums, enjoyed the app very much. Highly recommended. Works great; just be sure to download it it your own language.
Makes a great museum an extraordinary experience

This app, with its guides and extra A/V content, is a work of art. It’s got audio guides, clever video clips, wayfinding tips, and my favorite feature–a way to have your favorite artworks e-mailed to you!
Worked great, and loved the audio tours

I used this on my iPhone 6 during a recent visit. I really enjoyed the audio tours, and found the app to be reliable, easy to use, and very informative. Do this, instead of paying for the physical audio guide at the museum!
Family Quest
The Rijksmuseum app now includes a special Family Quest, which is a unique item within the app. This game can be played by a minimum of two and maximum of four players, each on their own smartphone.
Challenges
The Family Quest takes families on a tour past eight objects in the museum, and at each one they are challenged to unravel its secret. The participants receive different kinds of tasks: sometimes an individual task on their own device, and sometimes group tasks on one of the devices. When all eight secrets have been revealed, there is a secret surprise ending. The Family Quest is suitable for adults and children from 6 to 12 years.
