Nokia brings NFC to the Museum of London

A trip to the museum can now be a hi-tech interactive experience

NFC is an exciting technology that – like those daring skinny jeans you bought – rarely gets used. Now Nokia has helped the Museum of London install NFC tags so visitors can use their NFC-enabled mobiles to learn more about exhibits, book tickets, access shop and café vouchers, buy prints, and even interact using Facebook, Twitter and FourSquare.

Baffled? Read our NFC article for the lowdown, and check out the video below to see how it works at the Museum of London.
