As children played and shared, the platform became an integral way for the project team to enable children to enjoy the National Gallery’s content off-site - taking the magic of immersive storytelling beyond the Gallery’s walls and into children’s homes. Research for both projects was informed by a dedicated Children’s Advisory Group including school children from London, Brighton, Bournemouth, Brighton, and Folkestone and, London who were consulted throughout and have helped devise and test the app and the Roblox experience.ĭeveloped through the pandemic, the project utilised Roblox as a platform for developing ideas with the children remotely.

This free mobile-based experience uses augmented reality technology to encourage children to explore the Gallery and learn about its paintings. The use of the Roblox platform builds on research for the National Gallery’s first immersive augmented reality (AR) app The Keeper of Paintings and the Palette of Perception, available at the Gallery now and created with the help of over 80 children in time for this year’s Easter holidays. Throughout the experience, they will be mentored by the character of the Keeper of Paintings from the National Gallery. ![]() Visitors will be challenged to accomplish their quests and rise through the ranks from Apprentice to High Keeper. ![]() The Keeper Council is a family-friendly experience launching this summer where aspiring museum ‘keepers’ from all over the world learn about the Gallery’s paintings and curate their own art collections.
