Museums: Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden #4

We recently visited the Hirshhorn and made a new friend named Hi.  


Hi is an interactive, child-sized robot that greets visitors and shares information about the museum.  After welcoming us, Hi told us about a new app--a free museum guide for your smartphone with audio and video content.  


Hi is an excellent conversationalist, making eye contact with whomever is speaking.  Hi even suggested taking a photo with Susan, offering a hand raised in friendship.  


You can see a portion of Susan's conversation with Hi by clicking here.

Thanks for meeting our new friend Hi.  

P.S.  10/16/2018 UPDATE:  The Washington Post, in its kids section, published an article about the robots at the museum.
