What I aimed for?

The purpose of this application is to promote the art museum by allowing visitors to scan their favorite works of art, see what complementary goods are offered in the gift shop for that particular art piece. This not only promotes the museum but also offers visitors an opportunity to engage and take something with them as a keepsake.
