Multilingual reception in museums: AI, your new guide to excellence
Why a multilingual reception is becoming essential in museums?
Every year, museums welcome visitors from all over the world, eager for culture, art, and history. However, the language barrier too often hinders access to a smooth and inclusive experience: Questions misunderstood, frustration, loss of perceived value… the terms “multilingual reception”, “cultural inclusion”, and “museum accessibility” are widely searched on Google by your peers.
A costly Solution? Not necessarily!
Recruiting and training multilingual staff remains complex and expensive. The modern alternative: the multilingual AI assistant. Simple, flexible, and available 24/7, it integrates with:
✅ WhatsApp (QR Code at the Entrance or in the Rooms)
✅ The museum’s website (to Prepare for the Visit)
✅ In multiple languages: English, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Regional Languages (Occitan, Corsican, etc.)
The most common use cases searched by visitors:
“In which room is the Monet exhibition?”
“What are your opening hours during school holidays?”
“Tell me the story of this artist?”
“What payment methods are available at the museum shop?”
“Are your exhibitions accessible to people with reduced mobility?”
