For visitors

Explore. Engage. Enlighten.

The Footnote app is free, and it is for people who visit museums rather than the people who run them. It remembers where you have been and lets you keep exploring after you leave.

You do not need it. Pointing your camera at a Footnote code opens everything in your browser — the story, the audio, the film, your language. The app is for keeping track of it afterwards.

Free, and free of ads.

A tour guide in your pocket.

Keep what you saw

The objects you scanned stay with you, so the thing you meant to look up later is still there when you get home.

Follow the places you love

Keep up with the museums, gardens and historic sites you visit, and see when there is something new.

Find somewhere to go

Discover other places using Footnote nearby, with the stories waiting when you arrive.

See past the display case

Zoom into high-resolution photographs, and reach objects held in storage that are not on the floor.

Run a museum, garden, historic site or visitor center and want your objects in here?
