Vatican Museums Launches ‘Art Lovers Platform’ App

By Published on August 17, 2015

The Vatican Museums have launched a fundraising app–said to be an ‘exciting platform for art lovers’–which can be downloaded for free from the App Store.

In a press release, the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums announced ‘Patrum,’ targeted at patrons and donors and intended to raise needed funds several major restoration projects. $10 dollars is the requested minimum donation.

In existence since 1982 when a major exhibition went to the cities of New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums remains dedicated to preserving the collection of art housed in the Vatican Museums. Since it began, interested people helped restore the works from that exhibition and since then, the number of patrons continues to grow.

“Patrum, the first ever cultural institution app bringing together instant chat technology, crowdsource fundraising, and online community building is now live,” the release stated, noting the app “is your connection to engaging deeply and instantly with the art in the Vatican Museums, revolutionizing the accessibility and understanding of one of the most famous collections in the world.”
