If you haven’t taken advantage of IRM eCard yet, simply download it from your device’s app store by searching for "IRM eCard."

Q: Why does IRM eCard need to access my Camera, Bluetooth or Location

A: IRM eCard uses the Camera, Bluetooth and Location as part of the in-app experiences, such as the Site Tour. Bluetooth and Location are used to determine if there are any special features or other engagement points nearby. If Bluetooth is not supported, or if you do not grant permission, the camera can be used to scan QR codes instead. The Museum is committed to your privacy and the security of your data.
