ARTLENS4.1.0 - App Store

Turn your smartphone into a pocket guide to the Cleveland Museum of Art with the new and reimagined ArtLens App. Use the app as a companion within the museum, or as a way to explore from home. Download before arriving, plan your visit, and browse tours. While visiting, use the interactive map as a guide to navigate the museum, and keep track of your favorite artworks and gain in-depth information about every object on view. The ArtLens App uses Bluetooth technology to connect to the museum’s iconic ArtLens Wall and ArtLens Gallery interactives, and updates in real-time ensuring that users have access to the most accurate information available.

The ArtLens App features six main categories:

1. Search

Search the CMA's collection by artist name, artwork title, and accession number to discover works on view in the museum. Here you can find a scrollable list of featured artists and popular artworks.
2. Explore

Homepage that provides a snapshot of everything the ArtLens app has to offer and allows for quick access to dive deeper. Discover today's museum hours, popular artworks on view, get answers to your questions, and more.
3. Map

. Galleries are color-coded and grouped thematically to facilitate easier navigation. Tap any gallery number to see a gallery description and all artworks in that gallery.

. Wayfinding: Push the “Find Me” button at any time to find your exact location in the museum.

. Content: Includes every artwork on view, including more than 1,500 videos, available for selected artworks. Changes to any object on view are dynamically and immediately updated from the backend systems across the app and throughout the museum.

. Filter for restrooms, elevators, and exits.

. Bluetooth: ArtLens App uses Bluetooth to connect to ArtLens Wall and all interactives in ArtLens Exhibition, making synchronization seamless.
4. Favorites
