Case Study: Peabody Art Museum achieves faster, modern exhibit communications with Scala

Art Museum Expands With 21st Century Displays

Peabody Art Museum, specifically the Peabody-Essex museum in Salem, MA, faced the challenge of updating exhibit and visitor information quickly across a major three-year expansion. The museum needed a more flexible way to replace posters, bulletin boards, and outdated videotapes while keeping content fresh for changing audiences.

Scala provided the Scala InfoChannel visual messaging solution, including InfoChannel Player 3, Network Manager 3, and InfoChannel Designer 3, to power networked digital signage throughout the museum. The system enabled centralized, remote updates and scheduled multimedia playback on 42" and 60" displays, improving visitor communication and making the gallery information system faster than ever; the museum now runs content 24/7 and can change displays instantly or on schedule across the building.
