Dynamic: Curatorial pages and translations may be revised over a long exhibition.
What to put behind the code
A lightweight exhibit page with a transcript and language choices.
Print for the place it will live
Starting size: 4 × 4 cm. This is a starting point, not a scanning guarantee. Test from the visitor side of barriers, at standing and seated heights.
Choose non-glare signage that works with gallery lighting. Keep the four-module quiet zone intact and use dark modules on a light background. Read the print-size guide.
Where to place it
- Beside the exhibit label
- Accessible interpretation rail
- Gallery handout
Mistakes to avoid
- Making essential interpretation QR-only
- Using autoplay audio
- Placing a code behind glass glare
Before committing to a print run
Print a proof on the final material. Scan it with more than one phone, from the normal viewing position. Check the opened destination while signed out and confirm it leads to the intended page or action. A readable fallback address or contact detail helps visitors who cannot scan.
Questions about museum exhibits
Should I use a separate code per object?
Use separate destinations when each object has distinct interpretation; label them clearly.
What should I test before printing?
Scan the final museum exhibits artwork on more than one phone. Check the destination or imported details, the real viewing distance and the final printed surface.
