“I'm excited by how this platform has the potential to open doors to diverse cultures and art. We will be able to immerse ourselves in global creativity, breaking down barriers of geography and cost. This isn't just about consuming art; it's about forging connections, gaining empathy, and expanding our understanding of the world. It's an exciting journey, one that helps support the cultural mission of SDMA: to inspire, educate, and cultivate curiosity through great works of art. I look forward to seeing where it leads.”

“Thank you for putting in the work to build this virtual art museum. I appreciate the art, as well as the history that it represents. I believe this is the most quality app available on the Apple Vision Pro and I am intrigued by what can be learned by taking the time to study artwork by artists through history without traveling around the world.”
