accesso Technology Group, the premier technology solutions provider for attractions and venues worldwide, proudly announces the successful collaboration between its Professional Services team and the Irish museum, the Chester Beatty to enhance the Chester Beatty visitor app.

Initially launched in 2019, by late 2023 the app was ready for an upgrade and has now been relaunched with a fresh user interface and additional enriching features.

The app, built on accesso’s powerful Waymigo technology, offers visitors an immersive digital experience to explore the Chester Beatty collections and the museum. With audio tours available in 13 languages, an audio script, virtual 3D walkthroughs of the museum and online browsing of collections the app provides an engaging platform for both local and international visitors. The app also now features a new Children’s Quiz feature to engage younger audiences. The Chester Beatty app can be downloaded for free on iOS and Android devices.

“Our work with the Chester Beatty on the enhanced app represents a fusion of innovative technology and cultural enrichment. By leveraging our expertise, we aim to redefine how visitors engage with and appreciate the displays of manuscripts, rare books and other artifacts while creating memorable and accessible learning experiences for their guests,”

said Ben Mathews, Senior Vice President of Enterprise Solutions at accesso.

App Features include:

• Modern, responsive design
• Multi-lingual audio and audio scripts in 13 languages
• Information and event features
• Trivia quiz suitable for all ages
• Visitor donation functionality

The collaboration between accesso and Chester Beatty exemplifies the growing trend of integrating advanced technology into cultural institutions, enhancing the visitor experience through innovative digital solutions. By upgrading the Chester Beatty app, accesso not only demonstrates its commitment to creating accessible, engaging platforms for audiences worldwide but also sets a benchmark for how museums and cultural venues can leverage technology to broaden their reach and deepen visitor engagement.

As museums and cultural institutions increasingly seek to connect with diverse audiences in a digital age, accesso’s work with Chester Beatty serves as a model for how such institutions can stay relevant and dynamic. The successful relaunch of the Chester Beatty app highlights the potential for technology to bridge the gap between the past and present, offering an enriched, interactive experience that enhances both education and enjoyment for visitors of all ages.
