Introduction to Museums
Museums are cultural institutions that play a key role in preserving and sharing a society’s historical and artistic heritage. They offer visitors a unique experience, allowing them to explore and learn from collections of art, artifacts, and historical objects.
Most museums have carefully designed exhibition spaces that showcase their collections in engaging and educational ways. Some also provide special tickets or access to restricted areas for visitors who want a more in-depth, personalized experience. Information on exhibitions is usually available on museum websites or via dedicated mobile apps.
The Problem
Balancing members and one-time visitors
You need to sell timed-entry tickets and manage annual members with unlimited access—but your current system can only do one or the other.
Visitor peaks during vacation season
In July and January, lines wrap around the block. Long waits frustrate tourists and overwhelm staff.
Complex tiered pricing
Students, seniors, local residents, international visitors… Manually configuring all discounts causes errors and disputes at the ticket counter.
Underperforming gift shop
Sales suffer because it’s separate from the ticketing process. There’s no upsell, no cashless integration during the visit, and overall customer satisfaction drops.
No visitor flow data
Without heatmaps, you can’t see which rooms get overcrowded and which need better signage.
