Smarthistory.org has grown over the past year. We have added a lot of new content and the number of visitors to the site continues to climb. Based on a user survey we conducted last year, we know that many of our visitors are informal learners that travel. We created SmarthistoryTravel apps with these visitors in mind. 
SmarthistoryTravel focuses on curious, thoughtful travelers who want expert art analysis delivered in a casual and engaging style. The initial app in this series, “Rome: A First Look,” is now available in the iTunes App Store. We will launch a second app, “Rome: A Closer Look” later this summer. Additional apps that focus on art in other cities will follow. Proceeds from SmarthistoryTravel support Smarthistory, Inc., a not-for-profit organization. Enhance your travel experience and support Smarthistory at the same time!
