## What is Hear Art?

Hear Art turns your iPhone into an editorial audio guide for the world's great paintings.

Each of 119 masterpieces — from Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring to Hokusai's Great Wave — comes with a narrated tour that does more than talk over the image. As the voice describes a detail, the frame gently moves and focuses on exactly what you're hearing: the eyes, the hands, a single brushstroke, the distant horizon. It is the feeling of a great museum docent leaning in to say, "now look here."

• 119 paintings, hand-curated across six centuries and 12 countries
• Narrated audio tours in eight languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese
• Focus segmentation: the artwork zooms and dims to follow the narration, beat by beat
• Browse by museum — the Louvre, the Prado, the Rijksmuseum — by painter, or by theme
• Download for offline listening on the gallery floor
• A calm, editorial design — no clutter, no ads

Ten tours are free to explore. Unlock the entire collection — and every tour added in the future — with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, ever.

Every image is in the public domain, sourced from museum open-access collections. Hear Art is for anyone who has stood before a painting and wished someone would tell them where to look.
