Skövde Streetmuseum

The Skövde Streetmuseum app guides visitors through the history, art and culture of Skövde, a town in western Sweden between lakes Vänern and Vättern. Discover the town's hidden treasures in a playful and engaging way – at any time of day.

Background

Next Skövde Destinationsutveckling works to make Skövde an attractive destination. With the Skövde Streetmuseum app, visitors can discover the town's rich history and art in an accessible and engaging way. The app combines historical facts with modern technology and is available all year round.

Challenge

The goal was to create a platform that could share the town's culture and history at places without staff or information signs. The app was to offer an alternative to guided tours and meet the needs of visitors with limited time, or those visiting outside normal opening hours.

Solution

The Skövde Streetmuseum app includes:

• Town walks combining historical events and facts with visits to local works of art.
• An AR feature that engages children and takes them through the town's history in a playful way.
• The flexibility to create several different tours in the same app, making it versatile and easy to use.
• Themed walks that take visitors on adventures through Skövde's art, historic buildings and unique history, offering perspectives and insights many may never have thought about before.

Results

The app has become a popular resource for visitors who want to explore Skövde on their own. It offers pleasant town walks for all ages and the chance to explore the town's history and art at any time of day.
