A brand-new mobile experience

CultureClic is the most complete culture-on-mobile application for France you can check out geolocated works in high definition, access French museum data sheets, and even find out about cultural events near your home. This amazing app is available free of charge on iPhone and, coming soon, it will be on 80% of mobile phones with an Internet connection (via mobile web). CultureClic created by i-Marginal and managed with the "Cité des sciences et de l'Industrie" (a place "universcience") for Proxima Mobile.

Another way to discover art and history

With CultureClic you can explore 500 geolocated paintings, photos and engravings. Most of them are located in Paris, but many are also in Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille. These can be discovered and explored in augmented reality mode (iPhone 3GS only, Android application soon available) or via maps and lists. It is a virtual exhibition that unfolds around you thanks to your mobile. A different way of discovering art and history.

Augmented reality: a journey into time on iPhone

Thanks to the Réunion des musées nationaux (national museums grouping) catalogue and the Bibliothèque nationale de France (national library) Gallica archives, you can take a journey through time. With augmented reality mode (iPhone 3GS only, Android application soon available), you will see the place where you are located as it was several centuries ago: the Louvre in the olden days, the first photos of Notre Dame Cathedral, Pont Neuf or the Eiffel Tower under construction and many more treasures.

Culture on your doorstep

You can find the 1,300 French museums, geolocated, with all practical information (opening times, prices, tickets, etc.) on the map or in augmented reality mode. It also tells you whats on near you with more than 600 cultural events in France, taken from the Culture Portal diary (culture.fr), updated weekly, together with the universcience programme. Currently, this application only covers France, but will evolve and include informations from other countries.

New content, new features

Future versions will contain a feature on biodiversity, produced with the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (national museum of natural history) and universcience, new poetic and literary experiences with the Bibliothèque nationale de France and, of course, the CultureClic social network where you can find friends with the same interests, create a cultural community, build up an album with your favourites and share your discoveries on Facebook and twitter.
