How Museums Are Using xamoom for Engaging Storytelling

Get Ready for International Museum Day

On May 18, 2025, museums worldwide will celebrate International Museum Day—a chance to highlight their role in cultural exchange and education. This year’s focus is on accessibility and interactivity, making it the perfect time to bring digital storytelling into your museum. If you haven’t started yet, it’s not too late. With xamoom, museums can quickly and easily create interactive, location-based experiences that engage visitors in new ways.

Digital tools like xamoom help museums turn their exhibits into engaging stories by connecting the physical and digital worlds. With QR codes, NFC tags, and location-based content, museums can offer immersive storytelling that enriches visitor experiences. Let’s explore how museums are using xamoom to transform storytelling, with a spotlight on kärnten.museum in Klagenfurt.

Why Digital Storytelling Matters for Museums

Modern museum visitors expect more than static displays. They want:

✔ Interactive and multimedia content – Audioguides, videos, and augmented reality elements. For every age, for every interest, the visitor will leave smarter afterwards.

✔ Seamless access to information – No need for apps; just scan a QR code and explore. If you use the App, there is a clear value. But don't force you vistor in any direction, without an benefit.

✔ Multilingual and inclusive experiences – Catering to international visitors and diverse accessibility needs.

With xamoom’s location-based platform, museums can easily provide these features—turning exhibitions into immersive experiences.
