Beautiful and thoughtful insights
I’m an avid art lover and museum goer. This app has brought many fascinating insights to my attention and I can’t wait to explore all it offers!
Perfect way to Learn & Explore!
I love the way this app facilitates so much information in such an easily digestible way. Very easy to find what you want to learn/ discover about a city, and immediately get into it. I especially love the museum guides - puts all museums in 1 place with all of their info (hours, website, address and link to call).

This App Saved Me
“The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards Gesso” - Madame Curie
This app is fabulous. I’m sitting in quarantine eyeing the last few drops of whisky and wondering, “is this it? What else is there to do.” Then my good friend suggested I try Gesso. I, being something of a comedienne (Fr.), said “I Gess.” I downloaded the app and was immediately transported to a world that I hardly knew existed. I had been seeing the world in black and white and BOOM Gesso brought color into my life (similar to the Giver or American History X). Anyway it’s really great; definitely download it.

Every Street Has a Story
What an amazing app! Especially when we’re stuck socially distancing, Gesso is so fun to use to explore my city’s history and culture from home, and they even have pre-set walks you can take to hear some incredible, short true stories while you exercise. Highly recommended - check it out.
Awesome way to explore
Heard about this when I went to Paris and was looking for walking tours of the city. Amazing and interactive site. Love that they have multiple other cities I can access when I travel and learn about things to do and see The walking tours are great and a super way to learn first hand about a city in real time and not having to hassle trying to read a book while walking and seeing the sights.

Access for all
I love this app! It’s so insightful and the perfect way to keep culturally connected to cities, museums and historic sites around the world while not being able to visit in person
Fun, immersive way to learn more about the city
I first found out about this app when visiting the New Museum last year and thought it was cool that I could use my own phone to navigate the exhibits, learning more about the artwork. It was a better, more immersive experience than simply reading the info card on the wall. I’ve since tried the app at home and find it’s a nice way to consume content and get little chunks of info on various sites in my neighborhood and other parts of New York. As a New York native, I find it fascinating how much I still learn about this city. The Gesso app helps me do that by giving me cool facts about architecture, art, history and culture. The beautiful visuals and user-friendly features make it a fun and pleasant app to use. I’m really excited for when we are able to do Meetups where we can get out and explore on foot together. I enjoy traditional walking tours and think this app will just add to that experience, using technology in an interesting way.
