Aragón Open Air Museum

Aragón Open Air Museum was a mobile app for Android and iOS for planning and following routes through Aragon’s urban, artistic and archaeological heritage, with information from historians and experts on each site.

The app had three sections: Urban Heritage, Castles and Archaeological Sites. Users saw their position on a geolocated map, or on the floor plan of the monument in the case of castles, and from there could access the different sites and even create their own route.

The Urban Heritage section, the largest, covered sites along the banks of the Ebro, the squares of Zaragoza’s old town and mural art, based on information from Zaragoza City Council’s Public Art Service. Content was organised into categories (from Antiquity to contemporary street art, sculpture, painting, and military, civil and religious architecture) that users could combine.

In its first phase, the app featured 157 sites across Aragon with historical notes, photos and videos, and much of the content was available in sign language.
