British Museum created100 Articles ... So what?

Can Wikimedia change something? Derby Museums and Wikimedia UK have been working together. They have organised a backstage pass and experimented with

using QR codes for labelling artefacts. As a result of the collaboration Bamkin and Eden have designed Qrpedia.org which

allow multi lingual access to exhibits

Dealing With Other Languages

25% - 50% of visitors to UK museums are foreigners*

Not every museum is in the UK

English is not the “most important” language on

Wikipedia.

Why use QRWP codes?

If you have a limitless budget to continually update

the information on your 100,000 plus artefacts then

you don't need QR codes.

If you can supply most of your information in 5 or 6

languages and occasionally in 150 languages then

you don't need QRWP codes

If your alternative is more accessible then the law will

not oblige you to use other external sources
