The Centre d’Histoire Arvida (CHA) brings the economuseum approach into the digital era with its new mobile app allowing the public to access all the content of their local museum at anytime, from anywhere. In addition to the proposed activities, the current and upcoming exhibitions and the ticket purchase, visitors will have access to the patrimonial tour itineraries in augmented reality as well as numerous podcasts. The app can be used as a complement to our exhibitions or as a gateway to one’s own virtual and self-guided museum tour.
