It allows users to explore by specific museums' collections or themes, and to filter by movement, artist, historical event, historical figure, medium, and more. You can also allow students to play games like Geo Artwork, What Came First or Puzzle Party. There are many other other theme based Trivia, Coloring Books and Crosswords.
