Three steps to get started.
Upload your venue maps
Upload floor plans for each level or wing. Gallery layouts, building overviews — any image works.
Mark exhibits and facilities
Place markers on galleries, exhibits, gift shop, cafe, restrooms, entrances — everywhere visitors need to find.
Visitors scan and explore
Visitors scan QR codes at entrances or between galleries. They see the full map and search for any exhibit. No app required.
Why museums use QRCodeMaps
Visitors see more, miss less, and enjoy the experience.
Visitors find every exhibit
No more missed galleries because visitors didn't know they existed. Everyone sees the full map.
No app for visitors to install
Visitors scan with their phone camera. Works instantly — no download, no barrier to entry.
Cheaper than audio guides
Printed QR codes cost almost nothing. No devices to maintain, charge, or hand out.
Update for new exhibitions
Exhibition changed? Update markers online. No new printed maps to design and distribute.
Works across wings and floors
Main building, annexes, outdoor areas — all connected. Visitors search across your entire venue.
Reduce staff questions
Visitors find the gift shop, cafe, and restrooms on their own. Staff focus on the experience.
Tools built for cultural venues
Everything you need to guide visitors through your exhibits.
Gallery maps
Upload floor plans for each wing and level. Visitors see every gallery, exhibit, and facility on the map.
QR codes at every gallery
Each marker gets a printable QR code. Place them at gallery entrances, transitions, and key locations.
Exhibit search
Visitors search for any exhibit or gallery by name and see exactly where it is in the building.
Visitor engagement analytics
See which exhibits get scanned most, what visitors search for, and how they move through galleries.
Multi-wing management
Main galleries, temporary exhibitions, outdoor areas — manage everything from one account.
Curatorial access
Curators and facilities staff update their own sections. No IT involvement needed.
Understand visitor behavior
See which exhibits draw attention and how visitors navigate.
Popular exhibits
Which galleries and exhibits get the most scans. See what visitors engage with most.
Visitor searches
What do visitors search for? Specific exhibits, facilities, or services — see the demand.
Missed areas
Find galleries that get few scans. Improve signage or placement to drive more traffic.
Visit patterns
Peak hours, busy days, visitor depth — understand how people move through your space.
Museum wayfinding without breaking the visit
Museums have a wayfinding constraint most buildings do not: the signage cannot dominate. A gallery designed around the work does not want directional arrows competing with what is on the wall, so wayfinding gets deliberately understated and visitors get lost politely.
The questions are consistent across almost every museum. Where is the toilet, where is the café, where is the piece I came to see, and how do I get back to the entrance. Front of house answers those all day, usually while trying to do something else.
Temporary exhibitions add the same churn a conference centre has. A layout that changes every few months cannot be served by signage that takes weeks to specify and install.
A discreet code on existing interpretation panels keeps the galleries clean and gives visitors a plan they can consult without asking. It also tells you which works people search for, which is a genuinely new piece of information about your own collection.
Common questions
Will this clutter our galleries?
A code is small and can sit on existing interpretation panels, entrance signage or the visitor leaflet. It replaces the need for larger directional signage rather than adding to it.
Can we map temporary exhibitions?
Yes. A temporary exhibition can be its own map or a set of markers added to the floor plan and removed when it closes, with no printing involved.
Can a marker hold information about a work?
Each marker carries a name, description and photo, so it can double as a short interpretation entry alongside its role on the map.
