  • The challenge for cultural institutions

    Museums today face the challenge of creating engaging experiences that foster lasting connections with visitors. Many struggle to overcome traditional exhibit limitations, where guests often leave without forming a meaningful bond. This disconnect results in most visitors never returning, limiting museums’ opportunities to deepen relationships and generate sustainable revenue.

    Additionally, it’s nearly impossible to create an experience that caters to all visitors due to their varying interests and backgrounds.

  • The solution

    Footnote offers a transformative solution for museums. Through our mobile app platform, we empower institutions to transcend physical constraints. Visitors can explore exhibits through a captivating blend of narratives focused on their interests – all accessible on their personal devices while inside or outside the museum walls.

    Visitors can continue to engage with museum content after they leave. As museums add new content, visitors are encouraged to return!

  • The benefits

    This digital-first approach elevates the on-site experience and cultivates ongoing relationships between museums and guests. Visitors can continue engaging with content long after their visit, fostering a deeper connection.

    By partnering with Footnote, museums can bridge the gap between their collections and communities, delivering unforgettable, immersive journeys that inspire and captivate.
