MacWorld carried a story last year about an iPhone app that lets visitors navigate through the American Museum of Natural History.  Sounds like they made a big commitment to the idea — according to the article they trained 25 high school students to roam the museum helping visitors figure out how to use the app.  "The museum’s AMNH Explorer app turns your iPhone and iPod touch into a virtual tour guide. The free app tracks your location in the museum and offers turn-by-turn directions to exhibits, bathrooms, cafes, and giftshops."

I have the full article if you want to contact me offline.
