Museums and art galleries are places of inspiration and culture, but nowadays they have to face increasingly complex challenges: how to attract visitors, engage them and make each visit unique.
With the evolution of the public’s expectations, increasingly accustomed to interactive digital content, informative digital totems represent a valuable ally in improving communication and the exhibition experience.
Challenges in Museums and Art Galleries
When we enter a museum or gallery, we often face issues that can compromise our engagement:
- Limited access to information: information panels are static and not always detailed, leaving visitors with more questions than answers.
- Minimal interaction: Many exhibition spaces offer passive experiences, without opportunities for exploration or active learning.
- Language barriers: a foreign visitor may not fully understand the meaning of the works due to information provided only in one language.
- Ineffective event promotion: temporary exhibitions and special initiatives often do not reach the public in a widespread manner.
How digital totems can make a difference
Digital totems offer a concrete solution to these problems, transforming the visit into an enriching and engaging experience.
- Updated and dynamic information: totems provide access to detailed descriptions of the works, artist biographies and thematic itineraries, with multimedia content that expands the value of the exhibitions.
- Personalized interactivity: with touch screens, visitors can explore curiosities, hidden stories and details of the works, perhaps through zoom functions or augmented reality. This makes each interaction unique and memorable.
- Universal accessibility: multilingual content helps engage visitors of all nationalities, breaking down language barriers.
- Real-time promotion: totems can promote upcoming events, workshops or exhibitions, with the possibility of integrating QR codes to learn more or purchase tickets.
- Intuitive navigation: thanks to interactive digital maps, visitors can easily orient themselves, avoiding getting lost and optimizing their route.
Noteworthy examples
Pio Monte della Misericordia
Thanks to the integration of the Kiosk Nice coin-operated model, visitors can consult the famous Caravaggio painting “The 7 Works of Mercy” in a multimedia way, delving into details, history and interpretations in an interactive and engaging experience.
Numismatic Museum of Athens – Heinrich Schliemann House
One of the oldest public museums in Greece, it offers an exhibition that tells the story of numismatics, from Ancient Greece to the modern age.
Thanks to special interactive systems, visitors can explore ancient coins, understand their historical context and discover unique details that enrich the museum experience.
The eye also wants its part: the importance of design in choosing the system
When it comes to museums and galleries, attention to design must not stop at the works on display.
Even the digital devices used to improve the visitor experience, whether they are totems or interactive displays, must integrate harmoniously with the environment, respecting its elegance and style.
Therefore, they must be chosen carefully, also analyzing the overall closing and finishing details, as they can inevitably contribute positively or negatively to the overall atmosphere. But the quality of the displays is also fundamental when it comes to art. Brightness, color range, viewing angle are some of the parameters to consider to ensure optimal viewing in different environmental brightness conditions.
The Kiosk Nice model, for example, represents a perfect combination of aesthetics and technology. With its minimal, clean design and no visible screws, it clearly stands out from other products on the market characterized by rough lines and low-cost finishes.
In this way, Kiosk Nice adapts perfectly to the refined spaces of museums and galleries, without distracting from the art but enhancing it.
Furthermore, thanks to its bright high-definition touch screen, the Kiosk Nice model is ideal for offering interactive content such as details on the works, maps or thematic itineraries, ensuring an immersive experience without compromising on style and revealing even the most difficult details.
Why include digital totems in museum displays?
In museum displays, every detail counts. It is essential to enhance the works and create a narrative path that offers visitors an immersive and engaging experience.
Digital totems represent a strategic solution for combining technology and design, enriching the exhibition environment with innovative features and a clean aesthetic.
Integrating a digital totem does not only mean modernizing the space, but also offering added value to visitors.
Through totems, museums and galleries can:
- Improve accessibility to information in an interactive and multilingual way.
- Create a more engaging and personalized experience.
- Reduce the use of paper materials, reducing costs and environmental impact.
- Communicate dynamically, capturing attention in real time.
Conclusion
Adopting solutions such as digital totems means embracing a future in which art and technology work in harmony to offer unprecedented experiences.
Today, the world of museum displays and exhibitions is experiencing a moment of transformation, driven by new trends and increasingly high expectations from visitors.
People are looking not only to admire works of art, but to immerse themselves in an engaging story, where every element, from interactivity to aesthetic quality, contributes to creating a deep connection with the environment.
Technology, with tools such as digital totems, is not just an information support, but becomes an integral part of the cultural experience. This responds to the growing need to combine tradition and innovation, offering exhibition spaces that are cutting-edge and at the same time respectful of the artistic and historical identity they represent.
Adopting these solutions means not only satisfying current trends, but anticipating the needs of an increasingly demanding public, accustomed to high standards thanks to the daily use of technological devices.
In this scenario, digital totems represent the perfect synthesis between functionality and design, ensuring dynamic and captivating communication, capable of capturing and maintaining the visitor’s attention, enriching their experience.
