KPN Mobile Museum Guide

Readers of this blog have seen a recent surge in news on the Amsterdam Museum Night. The latest instalment in this series is the KPN Mobile Museum Guide. Visitors of the Museum Night can text 'n8' to 4628 to receive the complete program on their mobile phone. The Mobile Museum Guide includes an interactive map of Amsterdam with all the museums, the n8 blog, nachtgeluiden, a quiz and an interactive tour with Blue Tooth, designed for the Amsterdam City Archives.

In the future, the n8 intends to build upon the current infrastructure to launch more services, such as streaming audio and video, mapping and tagging. The Mobile Museum Guide was launched on 24 October. The Amsterdam Museum Night will take place on Saturday 3 November.
