Explore a museum with the Nintendo DS

Newlaunches: “The Nintendo DS is very popular in Japan, and taking full advantage of its popularity is the Nation Western Fine Arts Museum. From the museum counter you can borrow a DS which comes with a special cartridge preloaded with the museum details.

Each room in the museum has an access point so once you enter a room the screen automatically displays information relevant to the room. Browsing through the menus is very easy using the touchscreen.

If you find a painting interesting just browse to the painting on the DS choose print and using Wi-Fi the picture is printed which you can collect upon leaving the museum.”

Great idea, if you ask me. What’s keeping the Louvre or the British Museum from doing the same thing?

    That’s pretty cool. I personally own one and if museums did that I’d probably visit one more often.
