Every wall label is an audio guide
A visitor stands in front of the painting with their own phone. One code on the label plays the curator's two minutes on that work (no handset to clean, no deposit to take), and you can add a new piece to the trail the morning it goes up.
- An audio guide on the visitor's own phone, no handsets to clean or charge
- Membership and donations asked for where people are already moved
- One code per work, generated for a whole exhibition in one run
The codes a gallery prints
Each with one job, each dynamic, so a re-hang or a new recording never means reprinting a label.
Wall label / audio
Plays the curator's notes and an audio description for the work in front of them. Swap the recording when the interpretation changes, without touching the printed label.
Exhibition map
The floor plan, the trail order and opening hours. Update the file when the hang changes; the entry panel stays the same.
Membership
Join or renew from the phone in a couple of taps. Put it by the works people linger at, not only at the desk.
Donations
Straight to your giving page with a suggested amount. It belongs at the exit, where the visit's done its work.
What's on
Talks, late openings and the next exhibition. Repoint it as the program turns over, without a new print run.
One code per thing, named like the thing
Name codes by accession number and the label reads as your catalogue, not a shortener. New show going up on Thursday? Generate the whole room's codes in one run and hand the file to the label printer. Codes live on your own domain, so a visitor sees the gallery, not a link-shortening service.
Where it goes, how big, what breaks it
Where gallery codes fall over
We'd rather you printed two good codes than ten that nobody scans.
If the membership or donation form collects names, email and card details, say who's collecting and why on the form. That's a Privacy Act obligation, not a QRmory setting. Payment goes through your own donation or membership provider; the code just points at it. And keep an audio description in the recording, so the guide works for visitors who can't read the label.
Creator — $12.99/mo
One code per work adds up quickly across a permanent collection and a rotating show, so Creator's 50 dynamic codes and bulk generation cover a mid-sized gallery, with three custom domains so the link carries your name. Champion ($39.99) is the one for a multi-venue museum with shared team access.
Museums & galleries questions
The ones owners actually ask us before they print.
The ones with earbuds will, if it plays in one tap with no app to install. It won't replace a hired handset for every visitor, but it costs you nothing per person and there's nothing to clean or charge overnight.
