Not for the first time, the DS is helping out at museums in Japan by offering patrons a chance to hold fine art in their hands. This time, visitors to the M.C. Escher show at Shibuya's Bunkamura entertainment complex were handed customized DS Lites that offered interactive content only a touch away. The DS content included floor maps, audio tours, and actual reproductions of the artworks themselves, so that patrons could zoom in for the fine details. Escher's unusual works probably don't need any help when it comes to being interesting, but the inclusion of a DS would certainly make any art exhibit more fun -- and more personalized, which is something trips to the museum often lack.DS as tour guide
