Recommended print size:2.5–4 cm on a wall label.

What works in practice

  • Keep the code visually quiet — a thin dark code on the label beats a colourful one next to art.
  • Offer the same content in several languages behind one link.
  • Check the lighting: gallery spotlights create glare on glossy labels.

Common question

What if the gallery has no signal?

Provide visitor Wi-Fi with its own Wi-Fi code at the entrance, otherwise scans lead nowhere.
