Abstract

The application of new technologies is a challenge for cultural institutions  and museums are no exception. The trend is to promote the dissemination of  information, collections, conferences, exhibitions and interaction massively,  not only for the “real” but virtual visitors.

The most representative museums in the Big Apple have mobile applications  (Apps) with GPS, maps, directories, collections, visual and audio descriptions  for the user experience in situ and remotely.
