In 2020, most museums, galleries, and similar cultural institutions in Italy were interested in QR codes and Beacon technologies. While QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes showing a website's URL once scanned, Beacon technologies are wireless transmitters sharing information to nearby smartphones via Bluetooth. Data show that roughly one third of cultural institutions in Italy provided one of these two digital tools to its audience. Moreover, 41 percent of museums involved in the survey claimed that they were planning to provide QR codes or Beacon technologies in the future.
