The Strömsholm Equine Museum is an app that is free to listen to and download thanks to generous support from Leader Mälardalen and important partners at Strömsholm.
Go to www.hastmuseumstromsholm.se or where you usually find apps available for download to find the Hästmusuem Strömsholm app.
Once you´ve downloaded the app, you choose which of the nine different tours you want to listen to. Note that the tours have different starting points. The tours start at Knytpunkten – next to the stable yard area, the castle and the Equestrian Sport´s House.
A map with the various stops along the route shows you where you are and where the next GPS point is. It is possible to go the GPS points in any order, but the route suggested follows a logical order.
At each GPS point, a guide voice starts automatically. An image at the top shows the location you are at. After the introductory image, there are often several images that illustrate the narrator´s story at this particular location.
Once the narration has started, you don´t have to remain in the same place, but can continue walking towards the next point. You can also pause the narration at your convenience.
Please observe that the guide´s voice is only activated at the specific GPS points. Therefore it is not possible to listen to the guided tour without moving along the route. The exception is the Life in the Castle Tour, which takes place inside Strömsholm Castle. You can listen to the recorded material and see the pictures in the app from anywhere. But it is, of course, most enjoyable to experience it on site inside the castle.
