Demo · Entrance to the chateau park
Welcome to the chateau park. Follow the path among the trees and shrubs and look at the information signs beside the plants. This digital guide shows how visitors can explore the park at their own pace. There is nothing to install: simply play the narration, read the text or open the photo gallery.
How a QR code guide works in a museum
Each exhibit or room gets a small printed QR code. Visitors scan it with the phone camera and the stop opens in the browser in their language, with text, audio, photos or video. From there they can continue to the next stop without scanning again.
- one QR code per exhibit or room
- opens with the ordinary phone camera
- language detected automatically or chosen with a flag
- link to the next stop
What visitors receive at each exhibit
A clear mobile page explains the object in the selected language. Visitors can read a concise interpretation, listen while looking at the exhibit, or open supporting photographs and video.
- mobile-friendly text
- audio narration
- photographs and video
- a clear link to the next stop
What the museum can manage
The museum keeps editorial control without maintaining a fleet of devices. Corrections, seasonal content and additional languages can be published while the printed QR code remains unchanged.
- content changes without reprinting
- consistent structure in every language
- usage data for individual stops
- no charging or disinfecting handsets
Where a QR museum guide works best
It is a practical fit for permanent collections, temporary exhibitions, regional museums, galleries, memorial sites and chateau interiors. Start with the exhibits that need more context than a label can hold.

Frequently asked questions
Is a QR guide suitable for a small museum?
Yes. A project can start with a few important stops and grow when more content is ready.
Can one code offer several languages?
Yes. Visitors open the same QR code and then use the detected language or choose another one.
Can we use our own recordings?
Yes. You can upload prepared audio files or use text-to-speech where appropriate.
How much does a QR code guide for a museum cost?
Plans start at 4 EUR per month for up to 10 stops and one language. Museums that need more languages and statistics usually start with STANDARD at 24 EUR per month (up to 30 stops, 5 languages). The first month is free.
How do visitors know what the QR code is for?
Place a short call to action next to each code, for example “Scan for the audio guide, no app needed”, and explain the principle once at the entrance.
Does the guide work without an internet connection?
The guide normally loads online and its pages are lightweight, so even a weak signal is enough. For places with no signal at all, we can arrange offline operation and prepare the solution for your specific site.
