With the free Bloomberg Connects app, explore expert-curated content and guides to hundreds of museums, galleries, sculpture parks, gardens, and cultural spaces from the palm of your hand. From behind-the-scenes guides, to artist and expert-curated video and audio content, Bloomberg Connects makes it easy to discover arts and culture, anytime, anywhere.

Thousands of hours of content from hundreds of institutions, for free

Bloomberg Connects features thousands of hours of bespoke audio, video and text content, with more content being added every month. The app makes it easy for you to explore arts and culture on your own time, at your own pace. Quick snackable content or deep dives. On site or from home. In your city or around the world. All guides are downloadable, allowing you to explore them even when you’re offline.

Your personal curator, on and off site

Beyond unique content and guides, the app offers a number of tools to enhance your in-person visit to a culture institution – trip-planning tools, maps, and lookup numbers for quick access to app content. Free to download and free to use, the app was created by Bloomberg Philanthropies to help make the art and offerings of cultural organizations more accessible – not just to those visiting in person, but to people around the world.

Accessibility first

The app is designed with a variety of built-in accessibility features including voice over, captions and audio transcripts, image zoom, and font size adjustment. We designed the app to remove barriers to experiencing arts and culture.

Free for institutions and cultural partners

Created by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Connects benefits hundreds museums, galleries, gardens, and cultural spaces — with more joining every month — by providing a pre-built, easy-to use app interface customizable to their content and mission. We empower our partners with training, marketing, and technical support to deliver digital experiences to their visitors and a global audience.
