Museum Explorer

Museum Explorer

Museum Explorer is a brand new mobile app – available to download on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad – that challenges you to discover objects and explore National Museum of Scotland in a fun and different way.

Download Museum Explorer from iTunes

Your mission is to track down nine mystery objects within the museum. But these aren't any objects... We've identified the strongest, fiercest, tallest and even the smelliest things for you to locate. Once you've found an object use its 4-digit code to unlock a special explorer badge. Then why not capture and share the moment using our unique set of photo frames? Collect all nine badges to become the ultimate museum explorer.

It’ll take around an hour to find all the objects but there’s no need to do Museum Explorer all at once – you can come back to finish your challenge later. Happy hunting!

Museum Explorer support

If you have any feedback, or have experienced any problems, with the Museum Explorer app please email webmaster@nms.ac.uk and let us know.
