We propose an app that would entertain children and encourage them to go to museums more often and even, ideally ask their parents to take them!

The main target are families with children aged from approximately 8 to 17. This age group is approximate as younger children use less tablets and smartphones and older children might get bored with this kind of app. Partnerships will be set up with any interested museums.

That app allow users to discover new painting while they walk in the street, and to know where they can see it in a museum. Users will then have a rank according to how many piece of Art they saw and a "collection" of everything they already see. The goal for them will be to get the highest score and to fullfil the whole collection.

We decide to do our project on an app to respond as well as we could to the expectation of children and teenager that spend according to studies more and more time on their smartphone.

On their smartphone, users will have access to a map that tell them where they can catch Art.

Once they locate the art they can see virtually, users should go to the place and catch it with their camera.

Once they did it, users will have some points, and will be able to see their rank.

Also, they will be able to have access to everything that they saw.

Eventually, they will have some comments on the paintings that they saw.

With all those features, we believe that our target (teenager, children and in global, families) will get more sensitive to Art and will also get some knowledge about it while having fun.

Benchmark :

At the best of our knowledge there are no concurence on this particular type of service. Example of apps offering services within a museum but none are close to what we offer.

This study on the audience of British museums in 2018 shows that younger age groups are less likely to go to museums . It also shows that families are very sensible to services that can be offered around museums. https://www.theaudienceagency.org/asset/1707
