Technology is also being used elsewhere in the gallery: the National Gallery has given visitors the chance to explore its collection of around 2,500 paintings through the Art Start service.
Using touchscreen kiosks spread around the museum (like the one shown) you can find where your favourite painting is located, as well as get more detailed information.

Although this is good, I would have though they would be more advanced by now - 16 years later.
