Summary

An archived museum page distinguishes loan audio guides with induction loops from an exhibition guide downloaded onto visitors’ phones.

Key findings

  • The archived page describes on-site loan guides for permanent collections and the main temporary exhibition, with induction loops for visitors with hearing loss.
  • Separately describes a guide downloaded onto an iOS or Android phone through a QR code on the ticket or a link in the confirmation message.
  • The phone guide is limited to the main temporary exhibition and excludes the permanent collections and other exhibitions.
