The MuseumMobile wiki is an outgrowth of Tate’s Handheld Conference Wiki, which was initially developed for a September 2008 conference hosted by Tate Modern.
It is a free public wiki and continues to grow as a repository for resources, best practice, and conversation about mobile interpretation and technologies for museums and cultural sites.
It includes the project pages for the Museums to Go open source/open platform mobile development project among others. We also capture tweets that use the #mtogo hashtag here. [download here]

msu.seum, a native iOS and Android application
msu.seum connects cultural heritage directly to place, highlighting both what is known as well as the scholarly narrative of the archaeological and historical research. Compared to other geolocative mobile applications, msu.seum functions less like a “check-in” system and more like a museum tour guide that will address the cultural heritage of campus. The ultimate goal of msu.seum is to provide an engaging way for users to interact with the cultural heritage of Michigan State University.
Gives you a walking tour of the site, augmented reality photo
tours, and an interactive timeline with witness accounts of what happened (2011).
