Antenna Audio opens SOUNDBYTE, new audio tour at the Science Museum

Ever wondered what the Earth really looks like from Space? What really happened when Apollo 10 nearly burned up on its dramatic re-entry? Or what was it like to survive the Hiroshima Bombing?

From the 5th March, 2003, visitors to London's Science Museum, one of the greatest museums of science and industry in the world, will wonder no more, thanks to SOUNDBYTE ? a unique and dynamic audio guide developed by Antenna Audio.

The audio tour, which promises to be one of the most exciting and informative, takes visitors on an exciting tour with radio and television favourite Sandy Toksvig, of three of the museum's principal galleries: Making the Modern World, Space and The East Hall.

With the largest and most experienced audio production department of any audio tour provider in the world, Antenna Audio was able to make innovative use of extensive archive material ? from NASA and the BBC all the way to The Science Museum's own.

Interviews have also been specially commissioned with individuals who have been pivotal in the development of Science. Arthur C. Clarke even recorded a special commentary from Sri Lanka. Eamon McCabe, the former Picture Editor of The Guardian talks about the power of the most harrowing images from Vietnam. The original engineers from Rolls Royce and senior officials from the World Health Organisation are all interviewed, skilfully interwoven with commentary from the museum's own curators.

Andrew Nugée, CEO of Antenna Audio, said "We are delighted to be working with The Science Museum. Soundbyte is an excellent showcase of Antenna Audio's creativity and ingenuity, and we are proud to have assisted the museum with their ambitious interpretation programme".

Soundbyte will be available on Antenna Audio's own award-winning X-Plorerô, the most advanced and easy-to-use audio tour handset available in the world today.
