Dear MCGers,
I thought some members might be interested in recent developments at the museum.
As part of our HLF funded project, Collections in the Landscape, Buxton Museum & Art Gallery have developed four 'digital pilots' which explore ways of bringing museum objects, and associated information, into associated landscapes through mobile technology.
The trial projects are now live, and we're encouraging colleagues, partners and the public and take a look, have a go, and let us know what they think. We're interested in both the performance of the tech, but also the tone and format of the content and interpretation.
The platform can be tried here. It uses Wordpress so is navigable on anything from your PC down to your mobile.

As a museum, this is a new path for us, so we're particularly interested to hear any feedback, either informally by e-mail or through our survey:
