Audio Guide and Kids’ Guide
Now we’ve got something for your ears: with our audio guides, your visit to Futurium is about to become even more of a multimedia experience. Using them couldn’t be simpler: just log into the Wi-Fi with your smartphone, put on your headphones, scan the QR code – and off you go! The tour lasts around 45 minutes and will take you around the highlights of the exhibition and Lab. You can either follow the predefined tour or choose your own stopping points on the spot. An interactive map and number markings will help you with your orientation.
And the kids won’t be disappointed either: Nubi, our digital ghost, will be floating with them to ten very special points in the exhibition. He’ll cheerfully provide them with exciting information, let them solve tricky puzzles and take them on a visit to the other charming creatures living at Futurium.
The free web app of the audio guide works like a conventional website. You don’t need to download an app or use mobile data. Simply use the menu to adjust the various settings. The audio guide includes a text transcription for people with hearing impairments. For the perfect listening experience, we recommend you bring your own headphones.
