CHEST - GSIC

CHEST (Cultural Heritage Educational Semantic Tool) is an application that allows you to learn about the cultural heritage around you and in other parts of the world. From all over the world!

When you use CHEST, you will find learning tasks of different types (text questions, choosing the right answer, true or false, etc.) designed by teachers at these places of cultural interest to help you learn about their details. How many can you complete?

To show you descriptions and images globally (and in multiple languages!), CHEST reuses open data sources published by third parties. The "Sources" tab of every place of interest states which source each piece of data comes from, and lets you inspect the original record as published by that source.
