The app stopped when I selected Map from the menu and Second Floor. I tried several times. Apart from that the information didn't seem to be related to what I wanted to look at.

An outstanding app with volumes of in-depth facts on 15 works and some more additional info. Cant wait to visit the museum some day. High quality images. The app wont work on older android versions like 4.4.2
