Wow! That's technology eh?

I'd be interested in hearing how the patrons like this system and how well it
works. I don't have that many minutes on my mobile phone because I don't use it
that often. (Typically less than an hour a month.) So for me, listening to an
audio tour through my phone would be pretty costly. But it's good that you have
an alternative available when the museum is open. Plus, I tend to discourage
use of mobile phones whenever possible. Some people need to have them
surgically removed from their ears. :)

Good luck with it!
