Case Study: The Broad enhances the museum visitor experience with Urban Insight’s Progressive Web App

The Broad launches a cross-platform mobile app with Urban Insight and 2,000+ artworks on view

The Broad, a contemporary art museum in Los Angeles, faced the challenge of upgrading its outdated and unwieldy native mobile apps. They needed a lightweight, cross-platform solution that was easy to maintain and consistent with their updated online brand. Urban Insight was engaged to provide this solution using their mobile app development services.

Urban Insight implemented a Progressive Web App using the Gatsby.js framework, which integrated with the museum's existing Drupal 8 website as a data source. This solution created an engaging in-gallery experience for visitors, offering audio tours, an interactive map, and artwork details. For museum staff, the new app streamlined the content workflow, as all updates are performed directly within their existing Drupal system, making it easy to keep the app current.
