Free official guide to the Museo Galileo. This guide will accompany your visit with audio commentary, text pages, and videos as you discover the outstanding collections of scientific instruments gathered over approximately four centuries by the Medici and Lorraine dynasties. Toward the mid-sixteenth century, Cosimo I de’ Medici formed the first nucleus of the collections exhibited in the Museum today. Highlights include all the original instruments designed by Galileo, including his only two surviving telescopes. The guide provides information on all the items on display. Please note: - The app requires an Internet connection. Free WiFi is available in the Museum. - To listen to the audio content within the Museum you will need earbuds.
Worked well for my visit
I almost skipped downloading the app due to the many reviews stating it didn’t work. However, it worked well for me during my visit to the museum today. I feel it really enhanced the experience.
United StatesDoesn’t even work
I just get a blank white screen. Error. Piece of junk app! I paid eur10 to get nada.
United StatesGreat idea, poor implementation
I was excited to use this app to accompany my visit to the museum. But it was a disaster. Frequently hung or crashed on opening. When it did open the navigation was broken. I heard the description of one entry and then there was no way to go back. Very disappointing. I hope they can fix this app for future visitors.
United StatesTerrible app
1. It crashes whenever I switched to the camera app, so I had to start over and find my place every time I wanted to take a photo of something in the museum 2. The audio stops playing when your screen turns off and it doesn’t keep the screen on, so it’s constantly stopping and I have to take my mask off to unlock my phone again. Please fix, it’s really terrible because of these two things.
United StatesPretty good overall
I’ve been on many tours which have audio guides to help people understand what’s in the museum a lot more clearly. However, a common trend I see in these audio guides is the lack of sound quality. They are usually difficult to understand, but this audio guide’s sound quality is top notch. Everything is clear and easy to understand. The only part this app falls short on is the fact that the phone needs to be on to play the audio. Other than that this is a really great audio guide.
United StatesAwesome addition to the museum visit
One of the better companion apps I've see for a museum. Lots of good info on the collection
United StatesSlow and buggy
It’s basically just a website. Everything needs to loads and it loads slow. Also frequently with just give you errors until you get lucky one time and it lets you in.
