CURIOUS AND QUALITY INFORMATION Our Tourblink team is composed by professionals and local guides who are art passionated and who know what questions you may be asking yourself and what would you like to see during your visit in the Orsay, optimizing your time. The information in the app is concise, useful, fun and easy to understand. The one related to the artworks is free! In addition of explaining what you already knew you were coming to visit at the museum, we also tell you what we like the most about each artwork that you didn’t know you were going to see.

Once you choose one of the itineraries (paying a ridiculous price of less than € 5), you can follow the route and listen to the audio guides, which will give you information to understand what you see once you are in front of it. Or if you prefer, you can read it.

Every work of art has a story. Ray lets you hear it instantly. Ray is your spatial audio guide to art everywhere. Just point your camera at a painting, sculpture, antique, or public mural, and listen as the story behind the art streams directly into your ears. Ray connects you to the inspiration, history, and creators behind the objects you admire. Whether you are wandering through a fine art museum, exploring an indie gallery, standing before a civic monument, or enjoying artworks made by kids, Ray turns them into performances. No scanning clunky QR codes or typing lookup numbers. No scrolling through Wikipedia or asking AI chat. No expensive museum wands and complicated equipment either. THE GALLERY IN YOUR EARS Simply point Ray’s camera at the artwork in front of you. RayPrints lock on, and the story starts streaming instantly. Keep your head up and your eyes on the canvas, not down at a screen. If you prefer, you can read instead of listening. FRICTIONLESS IMMERSION Ray is light, fast, elegant, intuitive, and engineered to protect your battery while you explore. See the art. Hear the story. Notes: Curated Venues only: Ray is localized and available only where spatial training for specific collections, exhibits, or public art has been completed. Location Required: This app requires location permissions to sync with the cultural venues around you. Physical Reality Only: It works exclusively on real-world objects at their original physical locations, and not on reproductions. Are you a curator, artist, or gallery owner? Download the companion Ray Studio app to direct your own spatial audio performance and captivate the Ray audience.
