Smartify grew out of four friends’ enjoyment of visiting museums and encountering art. Inside every gilt frame and Perspex box, layers of meaning wait to be uncovered. Our mission is to enrich and inspire audiences by helping each object tell its story.
Founded in 2015, we’re committed to delivering the best mobile experience for art and culture lovers with cost-effective, reliable technology. We work with collections of all sizes improve the visitor experience on-site and at home; and deliver real business value that you can measure.
We understand the cultural sector and have spent years perfecting our technology which has been tried, tested and proven across leading museums, drawing millions of visitors each year.

This museum uses the art app by Smartify for smart phones. This app enables you to scan a work of art and get more information about it without having to read the museum signage. Great museum.
