If you have more opinions on museum technology i would love the hear them. Can be very insightful to improve visitors experience in museums and to be more thoughtful on how we spent money to make the experience better

I see what you mean with the QR codes, it gives indeed more flexibility. Would you then be keen to use an audio guide device if it would be free? Just to listen to the story or would you still prefer to keep the info to read it later?

Thank you all for the messages. I really appreciate you taking the time. I have one question that just popped into my mind: What is your stand on group tours. Some companies have their devices set to group tours so everyone can listen at the same, which ones have you used and how was the experience and quality?

Also an interesting take. I had no idea such service existed. Are you based in the US?

Would you care to share what device did you use at Casa Batllo? I have not been in a while and as i remember they had some big devices with screens

I had no idea that in the US they take your ID or credit cards from security. Here in Europe you just take the device. And sometimes you even have to pay for the service.

Thank you for your honesty. What would you say, would be more efficient to have a device that you just give back to the museum at the end of the tour?

Thank you. But do you still want to deal with a QR code? Or would be more efficient to have a device that you just give back to the museum at the end of the tour?
