Client: The Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art
Challenge: To provide a flexible, low-cost audio guide solution that enhances the art experience for the growing number of individual visitors, moving away from the constraints of traditional group tours.
Solution: Deployment of Retekess TT128 digital on-demand audio guides.

At the Brandywine Museum of Art, we have always believed that the fusion of art and nature can awaken deep emotions within everyone. As the artist Jerrell Gibbs expressed, we want every guest to be able to "feel an emotion, to revisit a memory, to feel heard and to feel seen."

To achieve this vision, we have been searching for a guide method that breaks from tradition and gives visitors more autonomy. Today, we are proud to introduce a new audio guide experience—using the Retekess TT128 digital on-demand device, turning art exploration into a truly personalized and immersive journey.
In the past, traditional group tour systems, while structured, inadvertently limited visitor freedom. We recognized that more and more visitors crave appreciating art at their own pace—they may wish to linger before a serene landscape by John Lavanne, or find resonance in the vivid colors of a piece by Palantine.
Therefore, what we needed was not "guidance," but "empowerment." The TT128 self-guided system is our answer.
The core advantages of this device perfectly align with our philosophy:
1. On-Demand Playback, Freedom to Explore
Visitors no longer need to follow a docent's footsteps. They can simply pick up a TT128 audio guide equipment, find the number labeled beside an exhibit, input it, and listen to a professionally recorded narration. Whether it's a lecture series by Weston or the life story of an artist, the choice is entirely the visitor's. It truly enables them to "go where they wish, hear what they choose."
2. Wireless Listening, Immersive Experience
We have specifically opted for the Bluetooth version. Visitors can easily connect their own Bluetooth headphones, freeing themselves from all cables and moving completely freely through the art spaces. This undisturbed tranquility allows them to engage more deeply with the artwork, achieving the profound immersion we aspire to provide.

Value Realized: Beyond Guiding, Creating Connection
For us, the TT128 museum audio tour device is more than a tool; it is a medium for experience. It allows our guests to:
• Stand before the deeply humanistic paintings of Jerrell Gibbs and directly hear the artist's creative journey.
• Build their own curatorial connections between historical works and contemporary art.
• In a quiet, wireless environment, complete a conversation with the art, and with themselves.
This innovation perfectly embodies Brandywine's commitment: we don't just display art; we are dedicated to creating moments where every visitor feels "valued and appreciated."
