Create immersive museum experiences with advanced indoor wayfinding and navigation
Request For SolutionWith technology rapidly advancing, standard audio and textual guides for museums have become outdated. It's time to replace them and install a modern tool to actively engage with visitors. Using indoor navigation tools for museums, you'll be able to create a mobile tour guide with wayfinding in museums and push notification functions. iBeacon technology provides a rich set of tools that improve the user experience and make each visit to the museum enjoyable, customized, and memorable.
Navigine has developed an efficient solution focused on enhancing the visitor experience and providing new capabilities for museums.
Guide visitors as they seek to find their desired exhibits throughout the museum. The indoor navigation system will guide visitors through curated exhibitions, creating digital maps on their smartphones and tours in accordance with their preferences.
Location-based solutions can be a powerful tool for analyzing visitors behavior. Using RTLS solutions, museums can obtain the necessary information about their exhibitions' performance and solve safety risks through a range of data applications.
Museums and exhibition halls can deliver relevant content to visitors in the form of targeted push notifications, containing videos, quizzes, useful information about items, and so on.
Museum mobile apps integrated with location-based features can provide visitors with all necessary information related to exhibitions' layouts, potential queues inside the venues or discounts.
Visiting the museum becomes more interactive and informative with the help of an assistant that shows visitors a way through complex exhibitions. Beacons in a museum are mapping its environment and present all exhibits in one user-friendly interface. Visitors can use the digital map on the smartphone, find specific halls and exhibits to visit, and apply real-time turn-by-turn indoor navigation. Each exhibit on the map can offer useful information in a user-friendly application powered by Navigine location-based services. It is also possible to implement indoor navigation using augmented reality.

PurchaseNavigine provides interactive digital maps, personalized wayfinding to specific exhibits, audio-visual content triggered by location, and self-guided tours that adapt to visitor preferences — transforming traditional museum visits into immersive, engaging experiences.
Yes — Navigine SDK integrates with existing iOS and Android museum apps, ticketing platforms, audio guides, and CMS systems via REST APIs, allowing museums to add indoor positioning without rebuilding their entire digital infrastructure.
Our system supports accessible wayfinding by suggesting step-free routes, providing audio descriptions of exhibits via location-based triggers, and offering text-to-speech navigation cues for visually impaired visitors — making museums truly inclusive.
Museum operators receive detailed heatmaps of visitor flow, average dwell time per exhibit, popular routes, peak-hour congestion data, and behavioral patterns — enabling data-driven decisions on exhibit placement, staffing, and curation.
Museum staff can update digital maps and points of interest in real-time through Navigine's CMS interface — perfect for rotating exhibitions, temporary installations, and seasonal events without needing to redeploy beacons or hardware.
Navigine partnered with Amuse to transform museum engagement through digital innovation. The solution provided integrates indoor navigation and visitor tracking within the museum's mobile app, enhancing visitor interaction with exhibits. With precise Bluetooth® beacon positioning, visitors can easily access detailed information about artifacts and exhibitions. The installation covered several floors with over 100 beacons, ensuring seamless navigation and a rich, location-based experience throughout the museum.
Kunstkamera is one of the largest and oldest ethnographic museums in the world. Navigine was selected as a proven solution provider to empower interactive museum mobile app with indoor positioning functions. Indoor navigation allows visitors to get explicit information about showpieces with outstanding accuracy. For Kunstkamera's project, we spent 2 days and installed 93 beacons for the museum.
Navigine has joined a project to develop a multimedia application for Armoury Chamber. The app connects to the general museum database that stores information about more than 200 thousand exhibits. The precise tracking of museum or exhibition visitor location is detected using signals from Bluetooth® tags. There were 125 beacons installed on the two floors (19 816 sq feet). The interactive mobile museum guide provides relevant information about the exhibit, based on the visitor's location.
