One of my favorite things to do in museums is to use Google Translate on artifacts. I find it so exciting to point my phone at a 500 year old vase and read what it says. Here are a couple examples from a trip I tool to the British Museum, it handled the Arabic and Chinese pretty well but the Rosetta Stone's Greek stumped it.

This is fantastic, thank you. And this is only going to get better over the next couple of years. Totally incredible.
