You can’t expect a museum to be without a smart phone app these days, so the Buffalo Bill Museum made sure to release one in conjunction with the opening of the new museum. With this app, visitors can use their smart phones to scan QR codes at exhibits and access supplementary information and stories. The app is not only an attempt to keep up to date with current technology, but, according to Dr. Rumm, it is in keeping with Buffalo Bill’s marketing strategy: ‘In his own time, William F. Cody used every communication medium available to him to present the American West to the world. We have continued that legacy by creating a museum for the 21st century, using every communication tool at our disposal to enhance the experiences our visitors receive.’

…A humorous “Monty Python-like” animated presentation talks about Buffalo Bill’s stage career.

Residents can get their “first look” at new exhibits and old favorites – all complete with QR codes to get more information via smart phones…
