Tour help and safety
Choose All tours to restore the complete list. You do not need to share your location. Your progress stays only on this device. Confirm current access and closures, and follow signs and traffic rules.
Listen or read uses a voice installed on your device to read the visible words. It is not a prerecorded museum narrator or a docent script.
Story-led choices
Explore a theme before or after a physical tour.
The Story Atlas is a related digital exhibit, not a second tour player. Use it when you want a theme, evidence trail, or research question rather than turn-by-turn stops.
