Here’s a nifty way to make use of podcast technology and Apple’s latest gadgets. The Tate gallery in Liverpool has put up an experimental exhibition whereby users can pick up the entire tour of the exhibition on their iPhones or iPod Touches.

Until the end of August, visitors to the Gustav Klimt exhibition will be able to experience the tour by downloading the whole thing online and putting it on their iPhone or iPod Touch. They can also grab the tour via WiFi or rent a pre-loaded iPod Touch at the exhibition area itself.

Design Week Magazine (external link) reports that the exhibit has been very popular, increasing visit times from 45 minutes to three hours.
