Bug fixes and improvements.

/ A New Patron Experience / Explore the Silver and Golden Patron tiers in the app. A one-time Golden Patron purchase unlocks premium 3D frames, materials, walls, gallery lighting, and watermark-free artwork exports. / One-Tap Artwork Saving / Save the artwork you are enjoying with one tap, making it easy to set your favourite works as your phone wallpaper. / UI Refinements / Made a range of detail improvements to typography, light-mode styling, exhibition cards, the About page, and museum identity displays for a clearer, more consistent browsing experience. / New Exhibition / “Who Is Looking? — The Nude, the Gaze, and the Politics of Seeing” — Beginning with the institutional construction of the “ideal body,” this exhibition follows the body through display, the returned gaze, the labor of models, fragmentation, and claims to authorship. Bringing together paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs spanning several centuries, it asks who has the privilege to look, who is placed under the gaze, and how images organize the relationship between bodies and power. Rather than offering a simple story from oppression to liberation, the exhibition invites visitors to question their own position as viewers.

This update introduces two brand-new curatorial exhibitions alongside major viewing experience enhancements: 1. Two New Featured Exhibitions: "Unsettled Earth: Displacement, Sanctuary, and the Human Cost of Conflict" — Conceived in response to the ongoing conflicts across the globe today (from Ukraine and Gaza to the wider Middle East), this exhibition shifts away from grand geopolitical narratives to focus on the human reality. Spanning four centuries of masterworks (including Bruegel, Géricault, and Vereshchagin), it bears witness to displacement and war while reaffirming our shared yearning for peace and sanctuary. "The Divine Nectar: Wine, Feasting, and Transcendent States Across Civilizations" — Discover masterworks from Ancient Egypt, Mughal India, Edo Japan, Chinese literati, and European masters, exploring wine as a catalyst for ritual, poetry, and transcendent inspiration. 2. Full-Screen Artwork & Detail Zoom: Within the 3D gallery, you can now open artworks in full screen and zoom in to closely examine high-resolution brushstrokes and fine textures. 3. Exhibition Chapters: Exhibitions now support chapter-based browsing! The two new exhibitions and select past galleries are now organized into thematic chapters for a more guided and narrative journey.

- Optimized Loading & Error Recovery: Upgraded exhibition loading error handling to provide clearer guidance and smoother retry experiences during network fluctuations, making gallery browsing far more seamless. - Smooth Visual Transitions: Fixed subtle frame material jumps during artwork slide-out transitions and restored auto-play state handling when closing config panels.

Faster Loading: Optimized connection performance to load exhibitions and artworks more quickly across all network environments. Auto Language Matching: Automatically adjusts to match your device's preferred system language upon opening the app. Smoother 3D Gallery Controls: Refined autoplay pacing and gesture responsiveness in the 3D gallery for an even smoother viewing experience.

Full Internationalization Support: Seamlessly switch languages across exhibitions, artwork details, and 3D museum labels with refined typography. Enhanced Museum Visuals: Added and refined vibrant original logos for over 20 world-class museums in the lobby and artwork views. Improved Audio Experience: Support for background music progress memory and seamless playback resumption. Refined UI & Interactions: Rebuilt Liquid navigation bar and gallery card layouts with smoother gestures in both portrait and landscape modes. Resolved an issue where the app could get stuck on the loading screen at launch, improving overall app stability. Thank you for using ArMuse.
