You may have been seeing QR codes pop up in use all over the place. They’re those little squares made of other smaller squares, usually printed on a poster or flier. These codes can be scanned with the camera of a phone or mobile device in order to access a variety of content, including images, documents, contact information, and most commonly, web addresses. QR codes can be placed just about anywhere you can display an image and make it far easier to access additional content without having to copy or remember a long web address.
These codes can be used for a variety of purposes and settings, including special events. Since QR codes are easy to use, make, and have multiple uses, to help make the guest experience, artist experience, as well as the experience of the museum or gallery, far more enjoyable. In this piece I will go over the different ways to incorporate QR codes into museums and galleries, as well as how to make them and some tips on how to best use them.
Museums can also use QR codes for:
Effortlessly create, customize, and monitor dynamic QR codes.
Step 5: Click on the pencil icon next to the Preview menu to further customize the appearance of your code.
Though not necessary for this type of code, you can then customize the appearance. Click Apply when you are done.
When deciding where to put your code, it’s important to keep in mind that QR codes are scanned with the camera on a phone or mobile device. Therefore, they must be placed on a flat surface with no warping so that the camera can easily read it. Posters, fliers, stickers, and business cards are among the best places to place a QR code. Uneven surfaces like telephone poles or warped walls would not be a smart location to place a QR code, as the code can become distorted and unreadable.
The best places to physically place a QR code are:
With the tools available on QR Codeveloper, as well as other code generators, you can monitor the usage of any code you create. This can include how many times a code has been scanned, where it has been scanned, on what device, using what browser, and more. With these tools you can figure out which codes are reaching the most people and where to focus any advertising efforts.
With QR Codeveloper you can monitor:
If you are a museum owner, curator, operator, or anything else having to do with the day to day operations, then you can use QR codes in all sorts of ways to make the museum experience better for the artists, patrons, donors, other employees, and yourself. QR codes can help modernize a museum, allowing guests to learn more about a particular piece or about the museum itself. In addition, these codes are easy to make, all you need is the URL to where you want to code to link to and you can use QR Codeveloper, or any other QR code generating service, to create functional codes in minutes!
