Museums turning to iPods to save cost

Small museums are taking advantage of the proliferation of iPods to reduce audio tour production costs. According to Bowdoin College’s Campus News the Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum has created a podcast of its latest exhibit on the Inughuit people of Northwest Greenland, allowing visitors to hear Arctic winds, Greenlandic dog teams, and people speaking, singing, and playing sealskin drums. Visitors can use their own iPods or borrow one from the reception desk, free of charge.
