Case Study: National Portrait Gallery achieves seamless automatic audio guide experience with Locatify

National Portrait Gallery - Customer Case Study

National Portrait Gallery worked with Locatify to create a seamless automatic audio guide experience for Simon Schama’s Face of Britain exhibition. The gallery wanted visitors to explore the five themed displays—Power, Love, Fame, People, and Self—in their own language without needing to manually control the audio.

Locatify implemented an indoor museum guide using its Automatic Museum Guide template and Creator CMS, with BLE beacons and a floor map to trigger the correct audio when visitors approached each exhibit. The temporary app was published to both the App Store and Play Store while the exhibition was live, helping deliver an easy, location-based visitor experience for the duration of the show.
