Museum QR codes are practical tools used to provide digital access to museums' rich collections. These codes allow visitors to quickly learn the history, production or artist of a work. Museums provide more comprehensive information to visitors with QR codes placed next to the works and invite them to an interactive experience. Visitors have the chance to discover the story or more details of a work by scanning the QR code with their smart devices. In this way, museum QR codes add a digital dimension to traditional display methods and offer visitors a more in-depth understanding.
Museum QR codes also provide guidance to visitors. For example, the story of a work, interesting ideas of the artist, or historical events to which the work is linked can be shared via QR codes. In this way, visitors can instantly access relevant information and achieve more in-depth learning as they navigate the museum on their own.
Additionally, museum QR codes are also used to share museums' digital content and online resources with visitors. For example, QR codes that provide access to a museum's online collection or virtual tours expand visitors' museum experience and allow them to explore the museum independently of the physical location they visit. In this way, museum QR codes provide visitors with a richer, interactive and educational experience, while also increasing the digital presence of museums and expanding their accessibility.
