About DOMA
Navigation page
Home page
Navigation and general museum information are available to help the visitor get aquainted with DOMA before they ever start their tour.
Thorough accessibility settings were a must within the app design. Changes to text size and line spacing are available within the tour readings, with more comprehensive settings available in the general app settings page, always on hand in the top right corner.
Choose from a variety of different tours covering interesting topics within the ever-changing DOMA collection.
Each tour is carefully planned by the docent who created it, with the app including written directions to each artwork, as well as a navigational map, and a full sequential list of view of the work covered within each walk.
