Museum Apps

MNM Esztergom Castle Museum

The Esztergom GUIDE@HAND application is a joint development of HUN-REN SZTAKI and the MNM Esztergom Castle Museum. It supports you to plan your trip to Esztergom from the comfort of your home.

With the help of the application, you can discover the Esztergom branches of the Hungarian National Museum: the MNM Balassa Bálint Museum, the Babits Mihály Memorial House and the exhibition spaces of the MNM Esztergom Castle Museum. Get acquainted with the menu system of the app and use it to easily find the institutions and learn out about their services. You can also get information about the temporary exhibitions and events in these museum branches.

When you buy your ticket to the MNM Esztergom Castle Museum on the site, you will also receive a code with your ticket. This code can be used to obtain extra information about the items exhibited in the Royal Palace area. The code must be entered in the main menu of the mobile application, using the “Activation” submenu of the “Additional Menu”. Thereafter additional content, historical curiosities, professional materials, and special medieval recipes become available. You can read this information while sitting on a bench in the Castle Courtyard or while drinking a delicious coffee or a soft drink in the Castle Café. In addition to this, you can also access exciting stories of objects in the exhibition spaces by reading the QR codes assigned to them.

Painters in the Mirror

In 2014, the Budapest History Museum hosted the exhibition “Painters in the Mirror - Hungarian Self-Portraits from the Uffizi Gallery”.

While looking at the exhibited portraits and paintings, visitors could listen to the most important additional information about the 34 works of art and the painters in four languages (Hungarian, Italian, English, and German). To do this, they just had to download the GUIDE@HAND Budapest app and then scan the QR code next to the picture with their smartphone.

Iron Age Danube Route

In May 2021 the Iron Age Danube Route became certified Cultural Route of the Council of Europe, which opens many new and exciting opportunities for the Route, its members and partners, as well as a responsibility to further develop our network in order to better promote, protect and research our common Iron Age heritage. The GUIDE@HAND Iron Age Danube Route smartphone application was developed for supporting this.

The European Council awarded the Cultural Route label to five cultural-tourism routes in 2021. One of these was covered by the Iron Age Danube Route project, with the support of the GUIDE@HAND lron Age Danube Route smartphone app.

With the free app in five languages, travelers along the Iron Age Danube Route can discover archaeological and open-air museums, reconstructed buildings and mass graves, as well as archaeological educational trails.
