Museum tours for people who don't like museums
Museum Hack is a startup built on a counterintuitive premise. It sells "museum tours for people who don't like museums." For one price, customers get museum admission, a several-hour tour, and in some cases, wine. Guides teach them about the displays but with a difference, such as a dive into the artist's weird hobbies. Some tours are family-friendly while others are adults-only. Tours are available inside New York's Museum of Natural History and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. The founder's view is "Museums aren't competing with other museums. They're competing with Netflix, Facebook and iPhones." https://museumhack.com/

A digital licence has already been developed by the Alannah and Madeline Foundation, which believes every child would benefit from it. The PM supports it saying "A digital license is important, in the same way that your kids get a pen license at school?. https://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/korean/en/article/2019/01/29/pm-backs-digital-licence-school-kids
