“Real museums are places where Time is transformed into Space.”― Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence I began my career in design, working as an industry professional across industries while also teaching as a visiting faculty for many premier institutions in India. Over 20 years later, I found myself carrying over my design thinking and strategy into fueling two of my startups - Museums22 and HopOn India; two innovative startups that provide the ultimate visitor experience for museums and heritage sites. While design and museums may seem far apart; I saw an opportunity. Museums have always been some of my favorite places to visit. But with every passing year, I could see museums not innovating enough to keep pace with technological trends. In an age where nearly every person owns a smartphone, museum visitors were still asked to use clunky museum audio guides and brochures. This is where a mobile app could have personalized visitor experience for the better!What began as a desire to introduce good design philosophy into the museum technology sector has today blossomed into a mission - to introduce mobile apps, digital audio guides, online web galleries and similar digital transformation features to museums through a SaaS experience. Reasonably priced and highly customizable, these apps stand to significantly transform museum visitor experience.Every museum has a story to tell. Adding a digital touch to the existing museum experience stands to enrich visitor experience through a single QR code scan. It can be that simple.That's my philosophy - Making Museums Relevant Again!Email me at shalini.bansal@museums22.com for product inquiries or questions.
