AIRA Explorer App
AIRA is an app-based verbal description service that connects guests who are blind or have low vision to remote agents who will guide them through all our venues. Guests can download the app for free on a smartphone and use it to speak directly to an AIRA agent anywhere within the venue. The app can be accessed on the museum's free wi-fi network or while using personal cell coverage. Learn more.
