Two ways to bring your collection to life
Whether it’s a single gallery wall or an entire heritage trail, there’s a Living Paintings product to match.
For galleries & museums
Interactive Artworks
Give every painting a voice. Visitors scan an artwork and hear its story — voice narration, animated layers, subtitles, and multilingual support, straight from the canvas.
From £50 per painting (self-service) or £150 full-service, plus subscription.
For heritage sites & trails
Virtual Tour Guides
Turn your whole venue into a guided experience. Visitors unlock historical narratives as they scan codes and plates along the route — site-specific storytelling for heritage attractions, towns and trails.
£3,000 site setup, then simple pay-per-scan pricing.
How it works
1
Scan
Visitors point their phone at the code beside a painting, mural or heritage plaque.
2
Listen
The artwork tells its story — narrated audio, subtitles and animated overlays, in the visitor’s own language.
3
Explore
Stories link into trails and tours, guiding visitors through the whole collection — and every scan is counted.
