The Night Watch

At the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam). More sad commentary...

... but to be absolutely fair, maybe they're all looking at some sort of museum guide.

 

[John Turney]

Yes, museum guides are now an app on "smart" phones.

 

[SD Bugeye]

Smart phone now there is an oxymoron

For those of you that might be heading to a museum in the near future here is an article about a great app https://www.apollo-magazine.com/digital-innovation-of-the-year-winner-apollo-awards-2017/ It is call Smartify and allows you take a picture of the art work and links you to museum links or web pages about the item. Not all museums will allow you to photograph, but this might be the saviour of art history learning in the future.
