Thanks to everyone who has responded to my query.  Obviously it's an area of keen interest.

To clarify, my interest is in how to utilize apps in a hands-on museum  setting (specifically a science museum) in which we are also asking visitors to actively/physically engage in exhibits.  Currently developed apps for the most part in museums are being used as a high tech variation of the "audio tour".  

Are there ways in which the app can be used in conjunction or layered on top of hands-on exhibits but not in competition with or divorced from them?  

That is my conundrum. : )

Are any institutions developing phone apps to deliver educational or exhibit related content?

If not, are there any specific areas you see potentially benefiting from the use of apps?

Thanks!!
