Audio Tour & Exhibit QR Codes
Museums can't afford tour guides for every visitor, and printed exhibit labels can't serve 10 languages. QR codes next to exhibits link to audio tours, multilingual descriptions, and accessibility features like audio descriptions for visitors with visual impairments.

How museums teams actually deploy QR codes
Self-guided audio tour
QR code at each exhibit links to a conversational audio narration. Visitors scan and listen at their own pace without waiting for a guide.
Multilingual descriptions
One code per exhibit auto-detects the visitor's phone language. French speakers read in French, Japanese speakers read in Japanese.
Accessibility features
Same QR code offers audio descriptions for visitors with visual impairments and text transcripts for visitors who are deaf.

Common questions
Museums QR codes, answered
Can I use one QR code for multiple exhibits?
Don't. Each exhibit should have its own code pointing to unique information. Combining exhibits behind one code forces visitors to navigate a menu, which kills engagement.
How do I handle buildings with poor WiFi?
Host audio as downloadable MP3s or use PDF QR codes with text versions visitors can save offline. Test WiFi in all gallery areas before deploying.
What languages should multilingual codes support?
Start with the top 3-5 languages your visitors speak. Check booking data or past surveys. Expand based on actual visitor demographics.
