Docent is an app that brings an interactive experience to museums across the world. It helps locals and travelers alike by making it easier to enjoy art.
When visiting museums in other countries it is often difficult to understand artwork descriptions due to language barriers. Flipping through a guide book is supposed to help, but it actually hinders the process by turning into more searching than appreciating. Even when museum signs are in your native language, they are typically small and crowds can make them difficult to see. Docent eliminates all of these issues.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Socially, Docent will heighten art education and enthusiasm. Many people know they like certain artists or pieces, but have difficulty remembering names, especially when discovering something new. Docent makes tracking favorites easier, encouraging people’s love of art. By keeping these works top-of-mind, Docent is expected to boost art sales, as well as subsequent support for museums around the world.
