"Fine Art Apps\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoMA\n\nThis app is a perfect tool for finding more info on the artwork you encounter or for planning your trip to the museum. But if you're an armchair and iPhone  traveler,  the MOMA app can help you bone up on your modern artist knowledge or take a virtual museum tour. We particularly like that you can get details on special exhibits and listen to curators discuss their process.\nFor: iPhonePrice: Free\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMus\u00E9e du Louvre\n\nWhat's better than a tablet trip through the greatest museum in Paris? Well, visiting the real thing, of course, but this trip is achieved on a much tighter budget. Users can browse through 100 of the museum's masterpieces and learn what's behind Mona Lisa's smile or explore Napoleon's apartments. If you've been tempted to take a trip in real life the welcome video just might push you over the fence.\nFor: iOSPrice: Free (new HD version $2.99)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDailyArt\n\nThis app is as straightforward as it sounds.
