## What is GUAN · Deep Art Guide?

See art, beyond the surface.

GUAN is an in-depth companion for art exhibitions. It helps you move from a quick look to a richer understanding of every work—without requiring an art-history background.

• Explore exhibitions, venues, and individual works
• Read guides organized through six connected perspectives
• Listen to narrated guides at your preferred playback speed
• Follow every key factual claim through its references
• See Unverified Points whenever the evidence is incomplete
• Search across exhibitions and works
• Plan a visit and set on-device reminders
• Use the app in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese

AI assists with public-source research, drafting, and synthesized narration. Automated citation checks and human editorial review follow. Errors may remain, and every work includes a way to report an issue.

GUAN is designed as a companion for viewing and learning, not as a substitute for the museum’s current visitor information or for academic citation. Please check the exhibition organizer’s official site for current dates, hours, and admission details.
