Historical characters come to life in museum's new app
Published: 19/08/2021
THE BEACON Museum in Whitehaven now has its very own app.
The free app, called West Cumbria with the Beacon Museum, guides users on walks around Whitehaven, or a drive around West Cumbria, seeking out exciting augmented reality characters and interesting content along the way.
It also has all the information people might need about the museum itself, and lists events at the harbourside attraction.
During the trails, the app introduces people to historical on-screen characters who interact with their surroundings and share their stories.
