Viamigo presents

Le porte del museo sono aperte.

Viamuseo is the museum virtual visit experience — a mobile and desktop app for iOS, Android, and the web. Discover museums on a real-time map. Walk the rooms. Step inside a partner museum and the app listens, narrates, and answers — in your language, in your pocket.

I. Manifesto

The museum, made walkable.

Every great collection is a city. Galleries are streets, the path between them a piazza, the silence of a Tuesday morning a kind of weather. For most of us that city stays locked — across an ocean, behind a ticket counter, on the wrong side of a Tuesday.

Viamuseo is a way in. We map the world's museums in three dimensions — geometry, light, the relationship of one artwork to the one beside it — and put them on your desk, your phone, the nightstand. Curatorial text becomes conversation. Crowded wings become quiet rooms. Six thousand kilometres of museum floor become the distance between your chair and the door.

This is not a substitute for going. It is the front step. It is the moment you stop walking past a museum on a wet afternoon and decide, eventually, to climb the stairs.

II. How it works

Three steps from anywhere to inside.

i.

Open the map

Spin a globe, drop a pin, pick a town or a country. The whole world is in your hand. Filter by period, collection, opening hours.

ii.

Choose a room

Read the curatorial note. Walk the gallery in 360°. Check the artist, the date, the restoration history. Pin what you love to your collection.

iii.

Walk in

Step inside a partner museum and the app wakes up. Real-time audio guide. Ask anything. The front desk, but in your pocket.

III. The map

Wherever you are, find a museum.

Explore a growing network of museum cities. Start with Italy, then follow the collections that are already being mapped around the world.

World view

Choose a continent.

The map moves from continents to countries, then to the museums Viamuseo is mapping.

IV. Rooms

Six doors. Open one.

Each room has been mapped in the app, with its original hang. The curatorial decisions are respected, the silence kept. Tap a card to enter the 360° walk.

V. The guide

A curator in your pocket.

App · Uffizi · Free Viamuseo AI guide chat

Point at anything in the room — a fresco, a label, the gilt of a frame — and ask. The guide has read the catalogue raisonné, the artist's letters, the conservation reports. It is patient. It is correctable. It will tell you when it doesn't know, and suggest where to look next.

Trained room by room, in collaboration with curators at partner institutions. Tonal, brief, formal when it should be. Speak to it in Italian; it answers in the same register.

"It is not the answer machine. It is the colleague at the end of a long Tuesday — the one who walks you through the Sala dei Maestri before the museum opens." — Lorenzo M., curator, Florence

VI. Live mode

Step inside. The app wakes up.

Geotag in. The moment you cross the threshold of a partner museum, Viamuseo switches to Live mode: audio-first, hands-free, location-aware.

The guide narrates the room you are standing in. Point your phone at an artwork and it identifies it, describes the technique, offers a deeper reading. Ask in any language — it answers in the same.

  • i.
    Audio-first

    Italian voice by default, eight more on tap. Hands in pockets.

  • ii.
    Location-aware

    What you stand in front of, the guide knows. The room shifts; the narration shifts.

  • iii.
    Always running

    Battery-gentle. Pauses for phone calls, resumes where you left.

VII. Inside

Built for the way you actually look at art.

01.

360° walks

Photogrammetric capture of every room. Move between walls at your own pace. Pause anywhere. Look up.

02.

AI guide

Frontier model trained room by room with the curators who lent their scholarship. Speaks seven languages.

03.

Hi-res zoom

Brushstroke-level inspection without the queue. Find the craquelure. Read the signature. Catch the underdrawing.

04.

Quiet narration

Optional audio in the voice of a museum guide you actually like. Toggle off when your partner falls asleep.

VIII. Dialogue

The way it talks.

Why is she turning around?
The pose is borrowed from a Roman femme fatale — Botticelli is signalling a riddle, not answering it. You are meant to catch her gaze, hold it, and let her turn back to it first. The trick survives in every portrait that ever felt like an interruption.
Was Botticelli popular?
Famously, then famously forgotten for four hundred years. The Pre-Raphaelites revived him in 1860. The room you are standing in is largely that revival.
