Amuse: Spark your curiosity
Highlights & hidden gems
Free
Discover the everyday extraordinary.
There are hidden stories all around us: in the dinosaur fossils mounted in museums, in the canvas behind your favorite painting, under the grass in the park near your childhood home, within the bronze in the statue you pass on your way to work, and in the architecture of the city you've always wanted to visit.
Amuse helps you explore, uncover, and share these stories — the everyday extraordinary. Think of it as your personal travel companion: but instead of trying to lecture you for an hour, it enriches your daily life with little nuggets of information, even when you're not on vacation.
