Great videos, terrible app. It crashes 4 out of 5 times I open it and then won't scroll 1 out of 2 times and then will crash on the video 3 out of 4 times, meaning I can only watch the video I want every 2.5 percent of the time I open the app. I recommend you save yourself much pain by going to the economist YouTube channel and seeing the same videos there

Good but short tour of the museum. It would be great have a longer tour available in the future.
