Self-service can improve visitor turnover to small and large museums alike, at a fraction of the cost needed to hire more staff or launch a marketing campaign. Kiosks can make visitor experiences of a museum more enjoyable and more informative, thereby encouraging them to return, while also improving the entry process, reducing the need for large numbers of staff and enabling museums to open for longer.

• Entry ticketing terminals, allowing customers to purchase tickets on the door or collect tickets that they have reserved (online) without having to queue
• Interactive exhibitions, encouraging visitors to spend more time with the exhibition and also heightening enjoyment by allowing visitors to involve themselves
• Educational kiosks, offering visitors more information about the exhibits than can be contained in a guide book, also freeing up staff from giving guided tours.
