## What is Museum Shuffle?

Let's explore some random artwork from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam! The Rijksmuseum collection hosts a wide variety of artwork that includes engravings, paintings, furniture, jewelry, etc. Who knows what you will find with a random shuffle? You can also specify some search parameters to give you some control of what artwork is randomly selected.

* The "Shuffle" tab lets you discover some randomly selected pieces of artwork. You can save artwork you find interesting by tapping the "Save" button.

* The "Search" tab gives you some control of what artwork is randomly selected. If you fill in one or more search parameters and hit the shuffle button your parameters will be used to determine what type of artwork is randomly selected. Note that not all search combinations will product a result.

* The "Favorites" tab lists your saved favorites. You can touch a favorite to see its full description, look up its location in the museum, share it with others, and view the artwork on the museum's website. 

* The "More" tab gives access to the settings menu, information about the museum, and developer contact information.

During a shuffle VoiceOver would only speak a generic phrase for the image instead of reading its title.

* The refresh button in the Search Shuffle won't be present when there is nothing to reset.
