Curator of the Museum of Orange Heritage, Dr. Jonathan Mattison said the launch of the audio tour will great enhance the overall visitor experience for tourists.


“As part of our drive to continually improve the visitor experience in the Museum of Orange Heritage, we have created an audio tour of our galleries. This will allow visitors to explore aspects of the history and heritage on show at their own leisure,” he explained.


“This will increase the accessibility of our facility and help visitors explore artefacts and stories in much greater detail.”

Currently, the guides provide additional information in English, French and German.


Dr. Mattison added: “With an increase in the number of European tourists coming to Northern Ireland, it was important that we continued to enhance the way in which we engaged with visitors interested in cultural history and heritage such as ours.”


The launch of the audio facility comes at the conclusion of Orange Heritage Week.

That’s an excellent move by the Museum of Orange Heritage! Integrating audio tours is a smart way to make history more interactive and accessible. Collaborating with an online marketing agentur Düsseldorf could further amplify their reach, ensuring that more people discover and enjoy this innovative blend of culture and technology.

The Museum of Orange Heritage launching an audio tour sounds like a fantastic way to explore history at your own pace. Interactive experiences like this really bring exhibits to life. For travelers planning a longer visit to the area, staying at RV Parks Midland TX can make the trip comfortable and convenient.
