The Civilisation and War Museums put online websites adapted to mobile devices

Gatineau, 17 September 2012

The Canadian Museum of Civilisation and War Museum have launched a website with a new version adapted to mobile devices.

There is no doubt the yearly almost two million visitors of the Museums will benefit from these new apps. They are in fact every day more prone to use smartphones or tablets to get info about museums, especially since there are many among them who are not living in the city.

Users can now use a simplified interface and through a very intuitive tactile navigation get access to different sections and categories in the museums website. Details regarding the exhibitions planning and various events are also accessible to all. The two websites give also directions on how to reach them from the place the visitor is in.

The creation of such websites goes together with the 2.8 million visitors who checked them last year. The amount of mobile users was then 10%, and destined to rise fast from now on.
