Perth Museum launches new digital guide featuring guided tour and additional content to enrich both onsite and offsite visits

Today, Perth Museum launched a new, digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and cultural app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Bloomberg Connects makes Perth Museum accessible for either on-site or off-site visits through photo, audio, and video features, offering insights into The Stone of Destiny and the permanent collections on display at Perth Museum.

The guide features an audio guide tour of the museum as well as information on the history of the building and the Stone of Destiny.

Helen Smout, Chief Executive at Culture Perth and Kinross said, “The Bloomberg Connects digital guide will enhance visits to Perth Museum by sharing stories with everyone. Our partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies helps us focus on accessibility and cultural connection, allowing people to experience Perth and Kinross’ heritage in more meaningful ways than ever before.”
